This name signifies “Mountain-God” and its assumption by the emperor
marked his devotion to the worship of the divinity animating the stone
of Emesa, El Gabal, which Elagabalus had conveyed to Rome, where it
remained until 222 A.D. This stone was regarded as a miniature
representation of the sacred mountain near Emesa. The stone is figured
on the aureus of the emperor Uranius Antonius. See Ch. Lenormant, Rev.
Numismatique, 1843, p. 273, sq., Pl. IX, No. 1.
