"Julius Alexander also known as Julius Alexander of Emesa was prince from the Royal family of Emesa who lived in the 2nd century. Although Alexander was a nobleman from Emesa, little is known of his origins. He may have been the son of Sohaemus of Armenia also known as Gaius Julius Sohaemus, who served as a Roman Client King of Armenia from 144 until 161, then again in 163 perhaps up to 186. He may have been a possible kinsman of the Roman Empress Julia Domna, which could explain him as a possible ancestor of the Roman emperor of the 3rd century Alexander Severus. Alexander and Severus share the same cognomen, Alexander. The name Alexander, is a dynastic name in the Emesani dynasty. In his career, Alexander became a Bestiarius also known as an animal fighter. Alexander became a prowess at Lion-hunting. He was known to have brought down a Lion with his javelin while on horseback. His prowess of his profession, provoked the jealousy of the Roman emperor Commodus. There is a possibility that Lion hunting was a royal or imperial activity that Alexander may had deliberately participated in because he may had wanted the Roman throne for himself. Commodus on his orders at night had Alexander hunted down and killed in Emesa c. 190. Alexander could have escaped from Commodus\u2019 soldiers however, he didn't want to leave his youthful male-lover behind whom himself was an excellent horseman, so he died with Alexander. Alexander with his lover, left when the assassins arrived but were overtaken and killed. After Alexander died, he was buried in the Emesani dynastic tomb in Emesa. Julius Alexander is mentioned in the histories of Cassius Dio and in the Augustan History, in The Life of Commodus."@en . . . . . . . . "Iulius Alexander (Rebell)"@de .

Dem Bericht des r\u00F6mischen Geschichtsschreibers Cassius Dio zufolge provozierte Alexander den Argwohn des Commodus, indem er in der Arena einen L\u00F6wen vom Pferd aus mit dem Speer zur Strecke brachte. Der Kaiser, der diese exklusive Form der Tierhatz in Rom selbst praktizierte und sich bei seinen Auftritten in Herkules-Manier ein L\u00F6wenfell umlegte, d\u00FCrfte diese \u201EHeldentat\u201C als Angriff auf seine Autorit\u00E4t interpretiert haben. Ein Exekutionskommando wurde nach Emesa entsandt, doch lie\u00DF Alexander die Soldaten ebenso umbringen wie seine \u00FCbrigen Widersacher in der Stadt; die Historia Augusta spricht ausdr\u00FCcklich davon, dass Alexander eine Rebellion anzettelte und somit m\u00F6glicherweise eine Usurpation der Kaiserw\u00FCrde beabsichtigte. Sein anschlie\u00DFender Fluchtversuch zu Pferde wurde allerdings vereitelt: Als Alexander gestellt wurde, nahm er sich und seinem jungen Geliebten, der ihn begleitet hatte, das Leben."@de . . . . .
