A remarkable woman by the standards of any time or place, Julia Mamaea was the true power behind the throne during her son's reign. Later historians looked askance at this breach of convention, but history has shown that the Roman Empire was probably the better for it. The intelligence and ambition of this empress show through in this sensitive small portrait. In a frame of radiant gold, it is fitting adornment for a person who always follows an independent path. - (FJ.2920)
