There's no doubt about the fact that she is a pivotal figure in both young men's lives at that point. In Britain, given that she's a member of the imperial court but obviously would be in no way attached to the military, it's more likely that she spent more time with Geta during that campaign.

Now that said, Julia's role in our literary reconstructions of the period is fascinating because it shifts everything. depending on the source. Dio very much has Julia as an ambitious political operative in her own right. We get the sense that she is hungry for power behind the scenes and that this kind of characterizes all of her decisions. In Herodian,

we get what I tend to think is probably the most likely relationship between Caracalla and Geta and their mother, that Julia Domna is the voice of reason. She is the rational one within the household and is always trying to bring her wayward sons together.

After Severus dies, we have this allegation in Herodian that Caracalla and Geta loathe each other so much that they just decide they want to split the empire in two. And that Caracalla will rule from the west and Geta will rule from the east. Caracalla in Rome, Geta probably in Alexandria.

And that the two armies will almost face off against each other at the Hellespont so that they can monitor each other's movements. It's a kind of wacky situation if you sit down and analyze it.

It's an extraordinary proposition. There's no real reality to it, probably, but it's a very good vehicle for Herodian to show what kind of character Juliet is, because Juliet is the voice of reason who stops her sons from this course of action. emotionally appealing to them that they can't divide their mother into.

So that's the kind of thing that they would be doing by carving up the empire in doing this. So Julia is very much this voice of reason, it seems, within the imperial household. And the Senate, it's not just the literary, the Senate also seemed to want to believe this as well.
