Document Summary
Sort of copying augustus and livia to try and go back to the golden days. Julia domina was loved by her husband so much so that he put her on coins alone. She also went on campaigns with him with the military camp. She was known as mother of the camp . Once caracalla died power ended up with serverus. Al of these men ended up ruling because of their scheming mothers. Similar to bronze statues from 5th century bce. His head looks too small for his body. This is to emphasize the trength of body. We see that caracalla has erased the face of his brother. Julia domina is starring straight at you while the other two are looking to the side. Damnatio memoria (erasing geta) carved images that actually were carved off. Always has an angry expression on his face.
