So this is inspired by the Constantine loses thread started by Archon of Thessaly. In it I mentioned Alexander Severus's desire to add Jesus to the Pantheon. I did more research and I got it wrong. He wanted to build a temple to Jesus. What if he got his way? Would this lead to Jesus being elevated to the Roman Pantheon? Perhaps Jesus the Savior, son of Zeus? Would this help reconcile the Christians with the pagans of the empire? Or would it just be written off as the actions of another crazy emperor and Ignored? After all Alexander Severus was the cousin of Emperor Elagabalus and we all know he was pretty crazy.
