A third-century Roman emperor has been reclassified as a transgender woman, according to a woke museum in the United Kingdom.

Elagabalus, a decadent and eccentric ruler who reigned from 218 AD to 222 AD, will henceforth be referred to with she/her pronouns by the North Hertfordshire Museum, according to a report.

The gender proclamation comes in the wake of classical texts appearing to mention the emperor's request to be called by female titles, the report noted.

"[Call] me not Lord, for I am a Lady," Elagabalus supposedly said.

Using she/her pronouns is necessary because it is "only polite and respectful to be sensitive to identifying pronouns for people in the past," a spokesperson for the museum said.

In the museum, coins of Elagabalus are often found among LGBT-themed items, the report noted.

Elagabalus, also known to history as Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, was a sexual-deviant emperor by all accounts, and he was known for his sexual promiscuity prior to his assassination.

He was married at least five times, four to a woman and one to a slave, a chariot driver Hiercoles, according to the report.

In his final marriage, Dio, a famed historian, writes that Elagabalus "was bestowed in marriage and was termed wife, mistress and queen."

The true nature of Elagabalus's sexuality has long been debated, the report noted.

"The historians we use to try and understand the life of Elagabalus are extremely hostile towards him, and therefore cannot be taken at face value. We don't have any direct evidence from Elagabalus himself of his own words," Dr. Shushma Malik, a Cambridge University classics professor, said. "There are many examples in Roman literature of times where effeminate language and words were used as a way of [criticizing] or weakening a political figure."

"References to Elagabalus wearing makeup, wigs and removing body hair may have been written in order to undermine the unpopular emperor."
