Elagabalus is killed in the camp (praetorian barracks) after a reign of thirty months.
Haec cum augerentur in dies ac magis magisque Alexandri, quem comperta Opilii nece Caesarem nobilitas nuncupaverat, amor cumularetur, in castris praetoriis…
Location: Aur. Vict. Caes. 23.3
Elagabalus's attempt to harm Alexander caused unrest among the praetorians; he tried to escape hidden in a chest in the camp but was found and killed at 18, his mother died with him, and the bodies were dragged about and thrown into the Tiber
so he made an attempt to flee, and would have got away somewhere by being placed in a chest, had he not been discovered and slain, at the age of eighteen.
Location: 80(79).20.2
Elagabalus is killed with his mother in a soldiers' riot.
Inpudicissime et obscenissime vixit, biennioque post et octo mensibus tumultu interfectus est militari et cum eo mater Symiasera.
Location: Eutr. 8.22
In the praetorian camp the soldiers cheer only Alexander. Enraged, Elagabalus tries to punish the troublemakers, and the soldiers kill him and his mother. Their bodies are thrown into a sewer.
Location: 5.8
Elagabalus's body will not fit down the sewer, so it is weighted and thrown into the Tiber from the Aemilian Bridge
sed cum non cepisset cloaca fortuito, per pontem Aemilium, adnexo pondere ne fluitaret, in Tiberim abiectum est, ne umquam sepeliri posset.
Location: Heliog. 17.2
