	Elagabalus
		Although the marriage between Elagabalus and Aquilia Severa went ahead, the emperor's religious aspirations for El-Gabal had to be abandoned, for fear of the public's reaction.
		If he had married the Vestal Severa in AD 220, then he already divorced her again in AD 221.
		This marriage although was only to last a very brief time, before Elagabalus abandoned it and instead declared he had never truly divorced Aquilia Severa and instead lived with her again.

		A bust in the British Museum (No. 2009) of about 200 A.D,, to which the name of Julia Paula is now (perhaps not incontestably) given, shows the ends of her hair drawn through the deeply falling braids and hanging like tassels.
		Aquilia Severa, who succeeded Paula in the love of Elagabalus, after a few months’ marriage, is so similar to Paula in her style of hair-dressing, that I need not illustrate it.
		Otacilia Severa (circa 244 A.D.) a variety is introduced.

	Elagabalus
		He arranged to marry Aquilia Severa (a Vestal Virgin), at the same time as his god, Elagabal, was married to the Roman goddess Vesta.
		Now the Vestal Virgins (attendants of the goddess Vesta) took a 30-year vow of chastity, and so the earthly component of the double wedding was nearly as shocking as the celestial one.
		She successfully talked him into raising his cousin, Severus Alexander, to the rank of Caesar, but he went openly against her wishes on the marriage front, divorcing Faustina and re-marrying Severa.

	Towards an Archaeology of Iconoclasm » A Severan Empress from Sparta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		One of the most striking portraits in the Athens National Museum is that of a Severan empress, found in 1964 in Sparta.
		The excavators suggested Julia Mamaea, the mother of Alexander Severus (emperor 222-235 CE), but recently Lee Ann Riccardi has suggested Julia Aquilia Severa, one of Elagabalus’; wives, based on the portrait’s hairstyle.
		However, it is the fact that the face of the portrait has been severely mutilated that interests me the most.
