Julia Soaemias was the younger daughter of Julia Maesa and niece of Julia Domna, the two formidable women of the Severan period who played a decisive role in Roman politics of the times.
Julia Soaemias was at once the tool of her mother’s political ambitions and the victim of the Roman people’s outraged reaction to Elagabalus’ abuses.
In A. 222, Julia Maesa finally decided to do away with her daughter and grandson before the army raised up a general in one of the provinces to the throne.

 Elagabalus (218 - 222 AD)
Varius Avitus Bassianus, the future emperor Elagabalus, was probably born in 203, the son of Sextus Varius Marcellus and Julia Soaemias, daughter of Julia Maesa, the sister of Julia Domna, who was the wife of Septimius Severus.
The influence that accrued to Julia Mamaea may explain the adoption of Alexander, and the evident hatred of Soaemias for Mamaea may lie behind the conspiracy that ultimately ended with the death of Elagabalus in March 222.
It does appear that Elagabalus himself was a person of little or no force of character, and that his eccentricity ultimately alienated a significant portion of the administrative apparatus, which threw its support behind Mamaea and her son.

The Emperor Elagabalus, who arrived in Rome in the autumn of 219, was quickly becoming unpopular.
It was probably Julia Maesa, his grandmother, who conceived the plan to marry him to a well-born Roman woman for two reasons: 1) to counter his public displays of homosexual and trans-sexual tendencies, and 2) to soften the disdain Romans felt for Syrians.
She became the first wife of the fifteen-year-old Elagabalus 219, but was divorced only one year later, and returned to private life.
