EDITORS COMMENTS
In this marble bust, we behold the enigmatic visage of Julia Domna (c. 158-217 AD), the second wife of the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus (r. 193-211 AD) and the mother of Caracalla and Geta. This exquisite artwork, a testament to the artistic prowess of the Roman Empire during the Severan Dynasty, is currently housed in the Museum of Louvre in Paris, France. Born into a prominent Syrian family, Julia Domna was a woman of great intelligence and charm, who played a significant role in the political and social fabric of the Roman Empire during her husband's reign. Her elegant coiffure, with its intricate hairstyle and elaborate diadem, reflects the fashionable trends of the time and underscores her regal status. Septimius Severus, a military man who rose to power through his military campaigns, was known for his authoritarian rule and his patronage of the arts. During his reign, he and Julia Domna ruled as a team, with her serving as a consort and advisor. Their marriage produced two sons, Caracalla and Geta, who both succeeded their father as Roman emperors. The Severan Dynasty was a period of great change in the Roman Empire, marked by the adoption of new laws, religious practices, and artistic styles. Julia Domna's influence can be seen in the artistic and cultural achievements of this era, including the construction of the Arch of Caracalla and the Temple of Elagabal in Rome. This evocative portrait of Julia Domna, with its subtle yet expressive features, invites us to ponder the complexities of Roman imperial life and the enduring legacy of the Severan Dynasty. As we gaze upon her serene countenance, we are transported back in time to the ancient world, where the lives of emperors and empresses were played out against the backdrop of imperial power and grandeur.
