030f. Annia FaustinaAnnia Faustina was the Great-granddaughter of Marcus Aurelius and third wife of Elagabalus who was coerced into marrying her. She reportedly was considerably older than him. He divorced her in less than a year and returned to Aquilia Severa.lawrence c

030e. Aquilia SeveraAquilia Severa was the second and fourth wife of Elagabalus. Aquilia was a Vestal Virgin who was forbidden to marry. Nevertheless, Elagabalus went ahead with the marriage despite opposition from the Roman ruling class. This opposition became significant enough that his grandmother coerced him into divorcing Aquilia and marrying Annia Faustina. After a very short time, Elagabalus divorced her and returned to Aquilia.lawrence c

030d. Julia PaulaJulia Paula was the first wife of Elagabalus. Married in early 219, soon after he arrived in Rome. Divorced in 220 or possibly very early 221.

031c. OrbianaWife of Severus Alexander. Married in 225. His mother Julia Mamea apparently viewed her as a potential threat and she forced a divorce and exile for Orbiana in 227.

031b. Julia MameaMother of Severus Alexander, she took a rather public role in controlling both him and the Empire. She was murdered along with him by mutinous soldiers led by Maximinus Thrax.lawrence c

031a. Severus AlexanderCaesar (under Elagabalus) 221-222.
Augustus 11 March 222 – 19 March 235.

About 14 when he took throne. Very weak ruler, who was dominated by mother and grandmother. First part of his reign was peaceful, and he had no major threats to his position. Toward the end, however, major external threats erupted along the frontiers, and he proved incapable of providing good military leadership. He finally was killed by his soldiers.

030c. Julia SoaemiasMother of Elagabalus. She also had a very poor reputation for her morals, and she was killed at the same time as Elagabalus. Both their nude bodies were abused and dumped into the Tiber.lawrence c

030b. Julia MaesaGrandmother of Elagabalus and Severus Alexander, sister of Julia Domna. Active in maneuvering her grandsons into power. Died about 225.
lawrence c

030a. ElagabalusAugustus 16 May 218 - 11 March 222

Actual name Varius Avitus Bassianus, then Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. Nicknamed Elagabalus because he was the high priest of Elagabal, the sun god of Emesa, Syria. His grandmother claimed he was the illegitimate son of Caracalla, who remained popular with army. Elagabalus’s forces prevailed, and he was declared emperor in 218 at the age of 14 or 15. His reign became notorious due to his efforts to supplant the Roman gods and to his sexual antics. He and his mother were killed in 222, and their bodies dumped in the Tiber.lawrence c

029b. DiadumenianSon of Macrinus. Caesar April 217 -- May 218; co-Augustus May 218 -- 8 June 218. Executed along with Macrinus.lawrence c

029a. MacrinusAugustus 11 April 217 -- 8 June 218

Mauretanian origin. Became Praetorian Prefect under Caracalla. While he was with Caracalla on operations against the Parthians, he learned of a prophecy that he would become emperor. Before Caracalla could act on this, Macrinus arranged for Caracalla's assassination and took the office of emperor. He then made a quick peace with the Parthians, which did not sit well with the army. Female members of the Severan family then took a major role in plotting for Macrinus's overthrow. A revolt broke out in Emesa, Syria, with Elegabalus as the putative leader. Macrinus fought a battle with them, lost, and was executed while fleeing.lawrence c

028a. GetaCaesar 198 - 209
Co-Augustus (under Septimius Severus) 209 - 211
Co-Augustus (with Caracalla) 211

Killed by forces of his brother Caracalla. Legend has it that he died in his mother's arms. After his death, Caracalla conducted a purge of Geta's supporters, killing thousands; although perhaps exaggerated, Cassius Dio claims 20,000 were killed. Although historians generally treat Geta as an innocent victim, the enmity between him and his brother suggests that it might have been a matter of who eliminated whom first.lawrence c

027b. PlautillaWife of Caracalla. Divorced, banished, and executed by him. One note on portraiture: On most augustae's portraits the hair style remains consistent. For whatever reason, on the coins of Plautilla, her portrait shows very different hair styles between the types.lawrence c

027a. CaracallaCaesar 195 (or 196) - 198.
Co-Augustus with Septimius Severus 28 January 198- 4 February 211.
Co-Augustus with Geta 4 February 211 - 26 December 211
Sole Augustus 26 December 211 - 8 April 217

Originally named Septimius Bassianus, then, after the Severans self-adopting into the Antoninan family, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus; nicknamed Caracalla for cloak he wore. Once Severus died, Caracalla had his brother Geta killed, followed by a massacre of anyone associated with Geta. He became noted for ruling brutally. Spent much of his reign campaigning, He gave Roman citizenship to all free men in the Empire. He introduced a new coin denomination that is now called the antoninianus (although what the Romans called it is not known). Although he was supported strongly by the army, he was killed by a disaffected soldier.
lawrence c

026b. Julia DomnaWife of Septimius Severus; coins struck by him and her sons, Geta and Caracalla. She became known for going on the campaigns of her husband and sons, and she reportedly was active in administrative duties of the Empire. Domna committed suicide in 217 after learning of Caracalla's assassination.lawrence c

026a. Septimius SeverusAugustus 193-211

North African of Punic and Italian origin. Governor of Pannonia when troops proclaimed him Augustus. Defeated other two claimants to throne. Active campaigner as Augustus, with victories against Parthia and in Arabia and Britain. Very hostile to Senate. Died of illness during campaign in York. His governing philosophy could be summed up in his reported words to his sons on his death bed: "be harmonious with each other, be generous to the soldiers, and take no heed of anyone else."lawrence c
