Niece of the Empress Julia Domna and sister of Julia Soaemias, Julia Avita Mamaeae married Gessius Marcianus and was the mother of the Emperor Severus Alexander. After the death of her mother Julia Maesa, and later those of Elagabalus and his mother Julia Soaemias, she emerged as the real power behind the throne and totally dominated her son. She was notorious for her avarice, even Alexander deplored some of the property confiscations she engineered her power and influence are manifest in the honorific titles she was awarded by the young ruler; Mother of the emperor, of the army of the senate, and of the nation. She was slain with her son while on campaign, after his troops had abandoned him as a result of Maximinus mutiny. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Image] Bidding JULIA MAMAEA, silver denarius, EF or better (Item #40999594) Current bid $41.00 Bid increment $1.00 Minimum bid $42.00 Registration required. eBay requires registration in order to bid.
