Headword: *)iouli/a *au)gou/sta
Adler number: iota,439
Translated headword: Julia Augusta
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Wife of the emperor [Septimius] Severus,[1] to whom Plautian[2] did many horrible disservices; for he hated her very much and slandered her to Severus, holding inquiries hostile to her and torture-sessions aimed at well-born women. Her response to this was to take up philosophy and spend her time with sophists.
