"The Roses of Heliogabalus" is an oil painting by the Dutch-British artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, completed in 1888. The painting is renowned for its intricate depiction of a decadent scene from the life of the Roman Emperor Heliogabalus, based on the historical account by the Augustan History. The artwork illustrates a lavish banquet hosted by Heliogabalus, during which he suffocates his guests with a cascade of rose petals released from a false ceiling. Alma-Tadema, known for his meticulous attention to historical detail, captures the opulence and extravagance of the Roman Empire with vivid realism.

The painting stands out for its rich color palette and the detailed rendering of the rose petals, which are said to have been brought in daily from the Riviera for the artist to study. Measuring 132.7 x 214.4 cm, the painting is a large-scale work that immerses viewers in the luxurious yet sinister atmosphere of the scene. "The Roses of Heliogabalus" is often highlighted for its portrayal of sensory excess and moral decay, themes that resonate with the viewer and provoke reflection on the nature of power and corruption.

This artwork is a significant example of Alma-Tadema's fascination with the Roman Empire and his skill in combining historical scholarship with rich, imaginative storytelling. It remains a critical piece for studies in both Victorian art and representations of ancient history in modern times. The painting is currently housed in the private collection of Juan Antonio Pérez Simón.
