Heliogabalus? That guy managed to be Roman emperor and was condemned to damnatio memoriae after his death. He did some very unpopular things such as trying to change the pantheon to a singular, sun-god entity. Didn't end well. And we're talking about him 2k years later

There were quite a few of these; Elagabalus is probably the best-known for it, but about 30 emperors received _some_ form of damnatio memoriae. > And we're talking about him 2k years later Well, clearly the damnatio memoriae didn't work very well, then, did it?
