Elagabalus
Rated as the 2nd worst Roman Emperor after
Caligula, Elagabalus (204-222) a young successor to Marcus Aurelius
was a transvestite.
Historically recorded as hedonistic and
regularly cross-dressed.
Elagabalus was dragged away with his
mother by soldiers and murdered at the tender age of 18.
It is possible Elagabalus had
sex-change surgery as Roman doctors at this time became very skilled
in cosmetic surgery. This would have made Elagabalus the first and
only ever Roman Empress!
The idea that plastic surgery is a new skill for transsexuals is
untrue.
Claudius Galen (131-201 AD) was a Greek physician who went to Rome and
revived the ideas of Hippocrates and other Greek doctors. He studied
at the famous Egyptian medical school of Alexandria.
At the age of 28, Galen became the
surgeon to a school of gladiators but in 161 AD he moved to Rome and
remained in the city until his death, aged 70.
