Historical background


MANLIA SCANTILLA

(193)

Wife of Dide-Julien, mother of Didia Clara - Augusta

After Pertinax's death, the Praetorians auction off the Empire. It is Dide Julien, senator and jurist, who wins by offering 25,000 sesterces per soldier. Part of the people, revolted by this method, appealed to the armies to get rid of the new tyrant. Pescennius Niger, Albin and Septimius Severus respond to Rome's expectations. Thus broke out the second civil war, after that of 68-69. Abandoned by all at the approach of the troops of Septimius Severus, the quickest to reach Rome, Dide Julien was beheaded on June 2 and his "damnatio memorial" pronounced. Manlia Scantilla is the wife of Dide Julien. It was she who, according to the Histoire Auguste, would have forced her husband to buy the Empire and to be awarded for herself and her daughter Didia Clara, the title of augusta. No one knows what happens to the mother and daughter after the death of Dide Julien.
