Julia Mamaea was one of the most remarkable personalities in all Roman history. Part of the so- called "dynasty of Syrian women", she was the effective power behind the throne of her son. Famous for her beauty and her wit, Julia Mamaea was at the center of an intellectual court. Her proud imperial portrait gives us a hint of the unique woman she was. Set in a ring of radiant gold, it is destined to adorn the hand of an equally remarkable individual today. - (FJ.4840)
