JULIA,

wife to the Emperour Severus, and the mother of Geta and Caracalla. She is called in an inscription brought from Barba∣ry,

Juliae Dominae Aug.
Matri Castrorum,
Matri August.

Spartianus, Eutropius, and Aurelius Victor assure us, that Julia was but Caracalla's mother in law, and that he married her after the death of his father Lucius Septimius Severus, but yet this is not mentioned by the Writers of that time: on the contrary, Dio tells us, that Julia was the mother of Caracalla, and speaking of the tem∣per of this Emperor, he says, that he had the malicious mind both of his mother, and the Syrians, and consequently Julia was his mother; and when the two brothers Caracalla and Geta fell out, she used them both alike, and spoke to them in these words, related be Herodian You have, my dear children, divided betwixt you the Land and the Sea, but how will you share your Mother? If she had been but their step-mother the argument she brought to reconcile them, would bear no weight. Philostratus who was very great at the Court of Severus, calls also Caracalla the son of Julia.
