Diad. And dr. bust r., cresent behind shoulders. Rev. Venus enthroned with the legend VENVS GENETRIX Julia married future Emperor Septimius Severus while he serving as governor of Syria. The marriage proved to be a happy one and Severus cherished his wife and her political opinions, since she was very well read and keen on philosophy. Together, they had two sons, Lucius Septimius Bassianus (Caracalla) in 188 and Publius Septimius Geta in 189 (both of whom became Roman Emperors). My cost was $128.
