Elagabalus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elagabalus

Few things flow off the tongue easily as Elagabalus,
except Heliogabalus,
who is also Elagabalus,
because Elagabalus,
was called by more names than any of us,
would think sane or just,
some of them multistage like Marcus Aurelius Antoninus,
and his birthname Varius Avitus Bassianus,
but Roman emperors always had a surplus,
of names and Elagabalus,
was much more excessive when he became a recreational prostitute.
