Wasn't Heliogabalus the Mama's Boy who joined a rather odd cult? (sort of like a Roman Akhenaten)Yes, it was a joke. Heard Elagabulus could throw down a pretty mean drag show!!
I'd say Trajan. Antoninus Pius was a great guy, but unfortunately hasn't made much of an impact on (the perception of) history, and Marcus Aurelius was quite good as well but kind-of ruined that by perhaps not choosing the best successor. History's written by the (eventual) victors and so our view of Commodus is biased, but it would be safe to say he was rather sub-par a choice.
