Julia Domna lived 160–217 CE. She was empress from 193–211 CE. One of Rome's most influential empresses, Julia Domna was celebrated for her intelligence, political influence, and patronage of philosophy and the arts. She accompanied her husband, Emperor Septimius Severus, on military campaigns and was honored with the title Mater Castrorum ("Mother of the Camp"). Coins depicting Julia Domna sometimes feature Vesta, the Roman goddess of the hearth, home, and sacred flame, symbolizing stability, devotion, and the enduring strength of the empire and imperial household.
