Julia Soaemias was the daughter of Julia Maesa and the mother of Elagabalus; during his reign Soaemias was the effective the ruler and she allowed, and probably approved of, his increasingly bizarre behavior. Because of his excesses both he and his mother became ever more unpopular; they were finally murdered by the Praetorians on 11 March 222.
