| Description |
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.
