Historical details: Severe Spetime had remained a widower of Marcia. he had recourse to astrology to find a second wife. The horoscope of a young Syrian woman, Julia, announced that she would have a king for husband. Dazzled by this prospect, Sévère sought his hand and obtained it in 187. They had two sons: Caracalla and Geta. She died in 217 and her body was brought back to Rome.
