Julia Mamaea
Julia Maesa, a prominent Roman woman, and her father Gaius Julis Avitus Alexianus were the parents of Julia Mamaea. She was born in 180 AD, and from 222 to 235 AD she was the Roman Empress.
The last of the influential ladies of the Severan dynasty would turn out to be Julia Mamaea. Alexander Severus, her son, was 14 years old when he ascended to the throne. Rome was in need of a regent, so his mother presided over the city. Although Julia Mamaea had a reputation as a conventional Roman matron, her strong leadership helped her go far beyond that position. She overturned some of Elagabalus' most ludicrous rules and restored order to the empire. When Alexander Severus reached adulthood, he made his mother the Imperial Consort and strongly relied on her guidance.
They went on all of Alexander's wars together, and he respected her as the Imperial Consort. He was revealed to be a weak commander with no military might during one of the operations in the North, which was a rebellion against a Persian invasion.
In 235 AD, soldiers turned on him because of his frailty and murdered his mother and son. With their passing, the Severan Dynasty likewise came to an end, and Emperor Maximinus Thrax ascended to the throne.
