Rome, 117
AD
H:
Maximus Tiberius Septimus (28)
W:
Aureliana Drusilla Faustina (19)
D/D:
Maxima Tiberia Septima/Aureliana
Drusilla Faustina "Aurelianilla"
The birth of
Maximus and
Aureliana's first children was a long and arduous one.
Aureliana labored for over two days, with
Maximus pacing night and day outside her door. Both girls were born alive, but
Aureliana and the younger twin, Aurelianilla, hovered near-death for days from loss of blood.
Maximus dutifully makes sacrifices to the goddesses
Diana,
Lucina, and
Decima, and miraculously, all three girls survive
