the wife of the elder M. Julius Philippus, and the mother of the boy who was put to death by
the praetorians. after the battle of Verona, A. D. 249. She appears
to have had a daughter also, since Zosimus speaks of a certain Severianus as the son-in-law of
the emperor. No other circumstances are known regarding this princess, except that she was
believed by many of the ancients to have been a Christain. The Alexandrian Chronicle makes a
positive assertion to this effect, and Eusebius (Euseb. Hist. Eccl. 6.36) mentions a letter, said to have
been addressed to her by Origen. (Tillemont, Notes sur l' Empereur
Philippe, in his
Histoire des Empereurs, vol. lii. p, 499;
Eckhel, vol. vii. p. 332; Zosim. 1.19.)
