A museum is to relabel its display about a Roman emperor after concluding that he was in fact a trans woman.
North Hertfordshire Museum will now refer to emperor Elagabalus with the female pronouns of she and her.
It comes after classical texts claim the emperor once said "call me not Lord, for I am a Lady".
A museum spokesperson said it was "only polite and respectful to be sensitive to identifying pronouns for people in the past".
