We know very little about this woman other than she was the wife of Trajan Decius. She probably saw the elevation of both her sons to the rank of Augustus but beyond that we cannot even be certain that she was still alive when her youngest son perished from the plague. I can only imagine what that must have been like as I saw how my mother felt after she had to bury two of her three children before she passed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
