Julia Maesa was the sister of Julia Domna. She and Julia Domna were from a family of priests of the Emesan sun god. Her picture is within a solar crescent. She would not deplict herself as devoted to the moon. Note these women were involved in Roman politics and military campaigns which was a departure from previous generations. They were intercessors with their family members who were perceived as divine. Her grandson Elagabalus was emperor and changed the Roman religion to worship the Syrian sun god. Elagabalus required Jews and Christians to worship with their religious rites in his temple in Rome. Elagabalus was known for his sexual perversions and killed. Roman religious rituals were restored and sun god worshipers were sent back to Syria. Photo Vaughn Rare coin gallery

2000 years ago the cross was a Roman symbol of death and terror. Jesus Christ transformed this symbol into a universal sign of God's love, hope and resurrection. Solar eclipse events are recorded in Roman mythology during the conception of Romulus and Remus by the war god Mars and during the foundation of the city of Rome. The solar eclipse to the Romans was a sign from their gods that war was upon the Earth. The solar eclipse symbol of the star/pellet within the crescent on Roman coins and legionary standards was also a sign of their god's approval of Roman domination over conquered lands. Fifteen hundred years later, the "Our Lady of Guadalupe" Icon was presented to the New World as an inverted Roman Legionary Standard. Jesus Christ changed these symbols of Roman domination and slavery into an everlasting sign of God's love and compassion.
