Historical background
SEVERUS ALEXANDER and JULIA MAESA
(222-226)
Julia Maésa is the sister of Julia Domna, therefore the sister-in-law of Septimius Severus. She married Julius Avitus and had two daughters, Julia Soémias, mother of Elagabalus and Julia Mamée, mother of Alexandre Sévère. She was about fifty years old in 217 when her sister died, who could not stand the assassination of her son Caracalla. Immensely rich, she will campaign with the soldiers stationed in Emesa to have the eldest of her grandchildren, Elagabalus, proclaimed emperor. In 222, it is still her, in order to save the dynasty, who will let her daughter and Elagabal be massacred in order to promote her second grandson Alexander Severus to the title of august. She died at the beginning of this principate, between 223 and 228, more probably in 226.
