The opera was composed in 1667 and premiered during the Venetian Carnival Carnival season of 1668 but it was withdrawn after only a few performances and replaced by another opera of the same name by Giovanni Antonio Boretti, perhaps because Cavalli s style was considered too old fashioned.

Image 057 iuliapaula.jpg thumb right Coin issued in the name of Julia Cornelia Paula Julia Cornelia Paula or Julia Paula was a distinguished Roman noblewoman who lived in the 3rd century. Paula was a member of the Cornelia gens gens Cornelia of ancient Rome. She was a Syrian woman of Roman descent and her family was a distinguished family from Syria . Paula s father, Julius Cornelius Paulus was a prefect of the Praetorian Guard in Rome however, his ancestry is not known. Paula was well educated and was a charming person. In 219, Julia Maesa eldest sister of Roman Empress Julia Domna , had arranged for Julia Cornelia Paula to marry her grandson, Rome s new emperor Elagabalus . Their wedding ceremony was a lavish ceremony that occurred in Rome. Paula became a Roman empress, as Elagabalus first wife and was given the honorific title of Augusta . In early 220, Elagabalus ended his marriage to Paula. They had no children. Elagabalus divorced Paula to marry the Vestal Virgin Julia Aquilia Severa . His marriage to Severa was considered as scandalous because she was still a Vestal. Apart from falling in love with Severa, Elagabalus married Severa as apart of the religious process of worshipping the Syrian Sun God El Gabal and integrating El Gabal into Roman religion. After the divorce, Elagabalus removed Paula s Augusta title. She withdrew from public life and her fate afterwards is unknown.

Pomponius Bassus 175 221 was a Roman Senate Roman Senator that lived in the Roman Empire . The father of Pomponius Bassus was probably Gaius Pomponius Bassus Terentianus ca 155 aft. 193 , who served as a suffect consul around 193 and the name of his mother is unknown. Bassus under the Roman Emperor Lucius Septimius Severus served as an ordinary consul. Between 212 217 Bassus served as a Legatus of Inferior or Superior Moesia and there is a possibility Bassus could have served as a Roman Governor of Mysia . Bassus in 216 218, married the wealthy heiress and noblewoman Annia Faustina Annia Aurelia Faustina , who was the great granddaughter of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius and Roman Empress Faustina the Younger . When Bassus married Faustina, they had settled and lived in Faustina s large estate in Pisidia . The marriage of Bassus and Faustina was a happy one and they lived in domestic tranquility. There are inscriptions at the Pisidian Estate stating that Bassus as the husband of Faustina and the owner of the Pisidia Estate with Faustina. Faustina bore Bassus at least two known children a daughter called Pomponia Ummidia born 119 and a son, Pomponius Bassus consul 259 & 271 Pomponius Bassus born 220 . Before June 221, Roman Emperor Elagabalus was attracted to the charm, beauty and imperial descent of Faustina. The emperor desired Faustina to be his wife. Bassus became an innocent victim of the cruelty of Elagabalus. Elagabalus ordered the Roman Senate to put Bassus to death under some frivolous pretext. When Bassus was executed, Elagabalus forbade Faustina to mourn the death of Bassus. In July 221, Elagabalus married Faustina as his third wife.

They would not allow the usurper to stand unopposed. Together with her mother, Julia plotted to replace Macrinus with her son Elagabalus Varius Avitus Bassianus . To legitimise this plot, Julia and her mother spread the rumour that the thirteen year old boy was Caracalla s illegitimate son. In 218 Macrinus was killed and Bassianus became emperor with the name of Elagabalus . Julia became the de facto ruler of Rome, since the teenaged emperor was concerned mainly with religious matters.
