Julia Domna (ca 170-217 AD), wife of Septimius Severus and mother of Geta and Caracalla.

Julia's horoscope had predicted she would one day wed a king. This was irresistable to the prophecy-minded Severus. They married in 187 AD in Lugdunum (Lyon) where Severus was governor. Septimius fulfilled the prophecy by seizing power after the death of Pertinax in 193 AD ('Year of the Five Emperors').

The marriage proved happy, and Severus cherished and respected Domna and her political opinions.
Julia was well-read and politically astute and often accompanied Severus on campaign, earning her the title “Mother of the Camps".

Septimus Severus: seized power after the death of Pertinax in 193 AD ('Year of the Five Emperors'). He travelled to Britain in 208 AD and strengthened Hadrian's Wall. He is considered a strong and able ruler, the Roman Empire reached its greatest extent under his reign. He was succeeded by his sons Caracalla and Geta.
