	Julia Maesa
		Julia Maesa (c.165-224): Roman empress, grandmother of the Roman emperors Heliogabalus (218-222) and Severus Alexander (222-235).
		Maesa may have continued to reside in Rome, where her husband was made consul in c.200.
		Maesa paid money to the garrison at Raphanaea and on 16 May, the Third legion Gallica switched its allegiance from to the boy Bassianus, who was -it was claimed- a bastard son of Caracalla.

	Severus Alexander
		Unlike her sister, Julia Domna, and her two daughters, Julia Soaemis and Julia Mamaea, she was already an elderly grandmother before being immortalized on coinage.
		But Maesa was already of advanced years when her more stable and obedient younger grandson officially donned the Purple, and she died just two years into his reign.
		About this coin: Julia Mamaea, the mother of Severus Alexander, was the true power for most of Alexander's reign, certainly after the death of her own mother, Julia Maesa.

	Noisetank : "History Lesson" : Elagabalus
		The artful Maesa saw and cherished their euphemistically rising partiality, and - readily sacrificing her daughter's reputation to the fortune of her grandson - she insinuated that Sol Bassianus was the naturally venerated son of their thrice-murdered sovereign.
		The crafty broodmare, Maesa, sensible that her grandson Elagabalus must inevitably destroy himself by his own dimpled vices, had provided another and surer support of her family tree.
		Embracing a favourable moment of thirst and the weapons of glittering devotion, she had persuaded the clubfooted emperor to subscribe to Alexander, and to invest him (A.D. 221) with the title of Pure Caesar, that his own divine occipitals might be no longer interrupted by the noodlings of the good earth.

		This set off another brief free-for-all, until loyalty to the Severan family prevailed.
		The 'family,' however, turned out to be the entirely matrilineal creation of Severus' sister-in-law, Julia Maesa, who brought her two grandsons, entirely unrelated to Severus, to the throne.
		The bizarre Elagabalus (sometimes 'Heliogabalus'), styling himself the god of his grandmother's Syrian solar cult, and then the amiable and reasonably effective Alexander thus wrapped up the dynasty.
