COUNTING THE DAYS ... EMPRESS OF THE WORLD

Place your cigarette in the ashtray cluttered with cigarette butts to savor a sip of that coffee with sugar and loaded with trying to chase the dream and with it the ghosts that used to accompany him. He again took the cigar between his fingers again to inhale the smoke, as if to that ethereal and aromatic trail gas filled inside and assuage the existential void that at that moment felt. Typed slowly, reluctantly, his old "Olivetti", as if the muse had abandoned him and is unable to write something coherent and made sense, and rejected, again and again, half the pages written, dropping them beside their engurruñado feet after they have been not without some despair.

got up and walked to the window, pulled back the curtain and saw the street that morning damp and gray. A little stream ran fast through the middle of the road, as the track was the incessant and heavy rain that had fallen throughout the night. Now that the sky began to lighten and the clouds had silenced his clamor, now that the dawn was becoming joyful under the rosy glow of a timid sun, remember to Magda, her life disappearing down the street, taking with it his eye color sea, that look that he had loved over and over again ...

And also recalled how, soon after, had known, for the sake of complete chance, as everything in life happens, your child's bright eyes, hair and complexion brunos nacre. Did not even know yet what to call it, I just knew he had broken into his life unexpectedly, like a whirlwind of fire and passion, wearing red patent leather shoes and wrapped in silk stockings, showing her naked body without any inhibition or pudicia with the same sincerity with which he showed the heart ...

she had also gone down the street, illuminated by the shimmering lights of another aurora closer, but, unlike Magda, he knew that soon soon, he would see the brightness of her expressive brown eyes and sip the sweet nectar from his lips. Just counting the days ...

Saline Gay Explication

Zapata, Part I.

.
Within the picture of the Mexican Revolution, no doubt, "Zapata with general attributes," is one of the images that have attracted the attention of researchers for various reasons. The mystery around him is one of them.

Photo No. Inv. 63464, SINAFER-FN-INAH. End research (Z1)

Consider a bit of history.

In 1998, Ariel Arnal in his article "Building symbols - political photography in Mexico: 1865-1911", speaks of two aspects, the possible time frame and physical location. It narrows the first two events, the giving of the town of Cuernavaca by General Manuel Asúnsolo, and the death of José Guadalupe Posada recorder.

Although the first event to use a bad picture listed, the reference being in fact the arrival and reception of Francis I. Madero on June 7, 1911, where there are Asúnsolo and Zapata in Cologne station.

to the physical location is tilted according to the delivery of Cuernavaca, for a location in the same town, the Montezuma Hotel, leaving aside the possibility of Xochitepec. Today we have reached the consensus for the location in the hotel Moctezuma.

The other fact, which occurred on January 20, 1913, outlines the possibilities for the creation of prints made by Posada, modeled on the picture of Zapata. Daniel Forehand found that the image was published in the newspaper "The Fair", 16 April 1913, information given to the light in his article "The Casasola photographs published in newspapers during 1913 Bogota, Alchemy magazine No. 25.

Engraving of José Guadalupe Posada, Library of Congress, United States. Imprenta de Antonio Venegas Arroyo, Mexico, 2 nd St. Teresa no. 40. 1914. In the Museum of Estanquillo, the current exhibition "Mexico through causes" includes another pamphlet which use recorded as of July 1913. Another version is published Miguel Angel Morales in his Blog.

On the other hand has spent time and effort to clarify who took the famous picture.

In our last delivery "Zapata again ... Moray, Mckay, or Miller , "Reflect on the article by Mayra Mendoza Avilés, and new news on the subject. She gives her reasons to disqualify Hugo Brehme and insert two new names on the scene, something that would have to argue from another angle.

Mayra Mendoza mentioned the possibility in the existence of two images simultaneously, taking into account the elusive look at the camera Emiliano Zapata.

In our article " Reflex or View", just look at the photograph used by Arnal, and in it we see the same feature in the eye, and also confirm the existence of two images simultaneously. Regardless the assumption of two images simultaneously, as proposed Mayra Mendoza, two contemporary photographs of the same subject, a fact which he has spoken Miguel Angel Berumen.

Courtesy of Daniel Forehand, Annals Graphics military history of Mexico, 1810-1970 ..., by Gustavo Casasola, 1973. for research purposes (Z2).

investigations Daniel Forehand on the second image (Z2), state that although Casasola use it for their publications, has not been able to locate a copy, original or reproduction in the library of Pachuca. Daniel Forehand I shared his opinion that both pictures were the same place and same time.

Hotel Moctezuma as building remains to date, clear changes of the transition time, during the years from 1911 to 1913 remained in use (such as hotel operated until the eighties of the twentieth century), being a living building, some Small details are difficult to reproduce in both images using the same scenario, but with different views that do not appear altered in their fundamentals, but each of them is visible hammered a cap gun hidden in the other and what appears to be a broken plate at the bottom of the ladder in exactly the same position.

Emiliano Zapata was in the hotel Moctezuma more than once, for different reasons and times, but never was the scene of fighting, and the caps could have come by different paths, but the caps may be linked with the dish not only circumstantially, it may be the result of a ceremony ... break plates with bullets.

Regardless of how he got the broken plate, with the hotel in service and occupied by the illustrious guests, probably needed cleaning, so the dish could not remain exactly the same place for too long, the simple step anyone could involuntarily move the pieces without difficulty.

Although one of the pot shots are removed to allow more space to pose, did not change the position of the broken plate.

Daniel Forehand also told me the best preservation of signatures and marks on the second shot (Z2), the least known, which could serve to clarify the authorship of the first. Indeed it is so clear and in duplicate, leaving no doubt about the authorship attributed to "F. Wray, "or" Hadsell. "

Comparing both pictures (Z1) and (Z2), the spelling of the signature "F. Wray" and "F. My ...", are different, not only is clear a different name, also a writing, where one and the other, mark their supposed authorship of atypical, "Zapata, photo and copyright by", "Zapata photo by. " In the "Wray" was not satisfied with that, also reaffirmed their rights in bilingual form, "Wray registered copyright," again something unusual, or the United States or Mexico, I found the registration in the United States is the name Wray in 1920, but it is "Silas G. Wray."

Pictured "Wray" there are other details in the bricks that form the pillar topping the ladder is graffiti or marks on the negative, two of them at least should appear in the other picture to be visible, and is not well ... even in the copy of the Library of Congress, George Grantham Bain collection, reproduction unsigned, do not appear. Then there are graffiti on the wall. In the lower right corner of an almost imperceptible reads: "2 B" ... Is the number you take, if so would actually be making No. 4.


By ostensible also appears the signature "Hadsell" on the left. Enrique Martínez Horta, that the existence of two photographers named Hadsell, making the argument for the authorship between Hadsell and Wray. There are also views of selling the image of F. Wray Hadsell. Consider first the way Hadsell. Walter P.

Hadsell, American-born photographer, was born around 1880, he graduated from the Department of Mines, University of Arizona in 1904 to 1909 he worked as an operator in the photo studio of John N. Rodrigo and Henry Beuhman in Tucson, Arizona, at some point in the early 1910's came to Mexico. Established in the port city of Veracruz, a local photographer named "The Kodak" Lerdo Street No 9.

The work of Walter P. Hadsell, are signed ... really use a logo with the following scheme: the name "Hadsell" + "V Cross", which means Hadsell Veracruz, there is another brand with print "Hadsell Photos, The Kodak Veracruz."

"Being signed photograph of Zapata in this way, why worry about the existence of another photographer named Hadsell?

Well, there is a reference to the independent work of Walter P. Hadsell Morelos in the area clearly. As an example, The Maritime Museum of San Diego, California, maintains a photographic collection of WP Hadsell, with 560 negative and 10 positive images topics are:

• •
Veracruz Veracruz

• Arizona • Hadsell Family

• Mexico City • Mexico Jalisco
• Tlalpajahua Michoacán, Mexico
• Guanajuato, Mexico Lake Chapala
• Gold

• • Chiapas, Mexico

• Alameda • Texas City • Grand Canyon

However
Enrique Martinez says that there are references, but not photographs of the presence of a photographer Hadsell name in the state of Morelos. Indeed

found another name: Walter Ellis Walter Hadsell ...

Ellis (Elias) Hadsell, was born on April 13, 1880 in Lima, Allen County, Ohio, in 1904 he graduated from the University of Arizona with the degree of BS mines. In 1909 he arrived in Mexico, three children born between the years and 1913 in Veracruz. He worked for a mining company and put a photographic goods business called "Kodak." The coincidences are too many to think of two different people in two ways rather than the name of the person.

Hadsell Information on WP is low, but WE Hadsell could find references to his arrival in New Orleans on May 25, 1911, leaving Veracruz on board the steamer City of Tampico, date to be borne in mind , in July 1914 his family out of Mexico provides New Orleans, their outputs are repeated inclusive Mexico travel to Honduras in 1917. Leave definitely Mexico 1918, must comply with the requirement for recruitment (draft) to participate in the First World War in your registration card is based: works in "New Cornelia Copper Company," Ajo, Arizona, as an essayist and chemical, with same charge appears in the publication "Mining and metallurgy", 1919, years after the mill design, "Hadsell mill" for the extraction of gold.

At the same time in the "Ajo Copper News," his sister said Idora live with his brother WE Hadsell, a chemist and photographer. Hadsell photographically recorded mining expansion of Ajo, Arizona from 1914 to 1930. Everything seems to indicate the simultaneous activity Hadsell as an employee of a mining company and its independent photographic activity, and we can not rule out the involvement of another photographer in the business of "Kodak." Appearing mining as a priority, and tours of Mexico probably were related to it, shall be investigated for what company he worked in Mexico and what was your specific involvement.

go back to the time parameter set by Arnal, June 7, 1911, April 16, 1913. The track on Fred Miller as owner of the rights to the image of Zapata (Z1), further reducing parameter, thrown by the registration date is August 23, 1912.

The Madero government policy toward the Zapatistas was direct confrontation in the beginning, the year 1912 began with the suppression of individual rights for the state of Morelos, Guerrero, Tlaxcala, and some districts of Puebla and Mexico State , January 18, where the military would involve extremely violent anti-insurgency tactics, Aureliano Blanquet, Francisco Naranjo, Juvencio Robles, among others. Therefore the possibility of the presence of Emiliano Zapata in the Montezuma hotel are reduced. We

is the year of 1911, Daniel Forehand since 2005 has shifted by that date. Zapata states that religious married 8 or 9 August , 1911, days before the civil ceremony took place, recorded photographically in the hotel Moctezuma, credited the fact Hugo Brehme. The interim president of the bar at that time take the first steps to stop Zapata Carreon Governor recommends seeking that Zapata did not visit Mexico City for talks. On 8 August the Ministry of War and sent troops to Cuernavaca Jonacatepec, federal police Ambrosio Figueroa Jojutla addressed. According to John Womack, Zapata and the Mexican Revolution ", while still celebrating their wedding at Villa de Ayala, the 9th of August received the news of the entry of the troops of Victoriano Huerta in state of Morelos. The next day in the afternoon Huerta barracks for 32 or infantry battalion in Cuernavaca.

August 13 Francisco I. Cuernavaca tree view with the intention of negotiating with Zapata, conferring by telephone with him, Zapata is located in Cuautla. On the other hand is hypothesized (Arnal) that both the band in general as the sword was the property of Manuel Asúnsolo, and he was assassinated in Mexico City in November 1911. Sables were many, but overall the band was a distinct anachronism, and during the historical period of the Mexican revolution and Zapata Asúnsolo just carry it ...

As we see the odds are closed late May to early August 1911 as the date for the creation of the photographs. With three events that could justify it: the entry of Zapata on 26 May in the city of Cuernavaca, the receipt of Francisco I. Madero in June 1912, civil wedding or entity Zapata June and July. The three events are festive and can live with the idea of \u200b\u200bbroken plate with bullets, and the presence of Asúnsolo.

Hadsell Let us return to the story, according to the hypothesis that Hadsell Wray bought the photograph, when you do it? Hadsell

uses a classification system based on universal numbered consecutively, the majority of his images appear with a registration number, photo (Z2) does not. A visit from the major vessels at the port of Veracruz and "photographed" by Hadesell we can get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow the numbering corresponds to a chronology.

(2330) USS Michigan ......... Between 12 and December 14, 1912

(2363) USS Louisiana ........ Between July and October 1913

(2526) south of Veracruz Beach, New Jersy, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Rhode Island ... Between 4 and November 30, 1913

(2594) USS Rhode Island ..... .

November 1913 (2634) USS New Jersey ........ In the fall of 1913, November-December

(2770) USS Dolphin ........... 1914 April

Tampico (2777) HMS Suffolk .........." May 1, 1914 ", was also the November 28 of that year.

(2798) Cruise Condé ............. May 13, 1914?

According to the presence of warships, we find a logical connection between the registration numbers and dates, but from the occupation of Veracruz there are inconsistencies. The record "3102" is a photograph appear ships, Solace, Chester, Bravo Mayflower and therefore must be later than June 24, 1914, resignation of Huerta to the presidency and the July 16 departure from Mexico. Convinación ships in "3051" Mayflowwer, Delaware, Chester, Utah, Connecticut, San Francisco, is given in June 1914

Registration "3123" has the following label: "First Marine landing party Leaving USS Prairie, Apr. 21 ", and at least until the record" 3485 "are basically images are treated from April 21, 1914, fighting, destruction, and first days of occupation without internal chronological order. To this we can give two explanations, pictures are classified much later being scrambled, photographs were classified according as they were still owned by Hadsell, or both options.

The second option implies that some of the photographs were not made by Hadsell, the record "3371" "Killed in front of hotel Measures" according to the hypothesis would not Hadsell to be well outside the chronology, in the case "3370" would be the same, but here we find in the version of Hadsell as trying to erase the signature, "P. Flores Pérez Pic. "And there is a version of P. Flowers without the signature of Hadsell, and even the version without the signature.

wonders what is all this to do with the picture of Zapata ... the record "3441" is a signed photograph Hadsell and Wray, taken at the entrance of Hotel Moctezuma in 1911, where is Emiliano Zapata on horseback surrounded by a crowd ... rather we wonder what to do with the occupation of Veracruz in 1914.

Photo Hadsell 3441, Wray. Graphic history of the Mexican Revolution.

According to the idea of \u200b\u200bbuying photographs Hadsell Wray, should occur in late 1914, remained fairly consistent with the classification number. The United States government in reference to the "Veracruz incident" did not impose censorship, allowed for the arrival of all photographers and reporters wish, but most of them did not find anything interesting to portray, unless the Mariners tourism in Veracruz. This led to a market of opportunity for photos taken previously, in different places and circumstances Veracruz 1914, often without the participation of the original creators. That could leave the matter settled Hadsell.

Hadsell did not do the photography and appropriated the rights in 1914.

F. " Wray is a real photographer, or even supersede the authorship?

I tend to think it's real, and even have a picture of him.

Despite this would open the unknown of who made the photograph (Z1), and give a more accurate date for the event. To make a long

too much reading, try to answer the remaining questions later.

Bf Wears Panty Girdles

On the trail of the letters.

.
usually started reading it and along with images we're bumping this time I suggest before reading the rest, see.


What we find are 5 samples of calligraphy, for a period of time ranging from 1911 to 1929, four of them 100% confirmed to belong to Aurelio Escobar Castellanos. During the stay of A. Escobar States States, uses the English language to label their jobs, which is not unusual to see one of the examples written in English.

Which of the 5 is the doubt?

Over time our writing is changing, the moods, the writing instrument, the medium on which we write, are some of the variables in its alteration. However, it preserves certain characteristics that help to give identity, although there are hundreds or thousands of people who can use a similar handwriting.

sometimes write with such particularity, that the chances of finding another similar writing is greatly reduced. There are occasions where the unions, as doctors or architects develop forms of writing with group identity.

The photograph from which calligraphy with uncertainty, is the only one of the five unsigned, one is signed, "A. Escobar picture, "two" HJ Gutierrez Photo ", a more" Paris Photo ", data to support the direct relationship with Aurelio Escobar.

often trying to prove the authorship of an image we find a degree of uncertainty with which we must live permanently, or at least until the emergence of new evidence to reduce or eliminate it.

This is one of those cases, calligraphy gives kinship but not a 100% certainty, and the event portrayed is the reason for the uncertainty to the time the image is anonymous. We present the source of speculation.

intentional one way we pointed out that A. Escobar, worked in the United States and used the English language to direct attention to calligraphy and not to the text content.

"Permanent headquarters of Mexican bandits in Hidalgo Co."

the back of the postcard reads: October
9.16

"Here a picture of a grave yard grave Where No Are Dug and the birds Can Have Their pickings"

What
event are you referring?

Call Mexican Revolution was a historical process that attracted much attention beyond the Rio Grande, the direct consequences of armed conflict developed over the border, and political influences exerted on the population of Mexican origin, attracted the eye of U.S. government.

In particular the border with Texas, with a large population of Mexican descent and interrelated families on both sides of the divide, were a fertile field to find supporters for the Revolution, but also individuals receptive to politics.
Thus
early 1915 came a manifesto: "Plan de San Diego" supposedly signed on 5 January in the town of San Diego, Texas, his birthplace was actually in prison in Monterrey, Nuevo León , it it called for the formation of "Liberating Army of Races and Peoples, Magonista influence movement.

initial appeal scheduled for February 20, yielded no results, giving a false comfort to the U.S. government, calling him an other case of revolutionary rhetoric. Feeling that was broken in July 1915 when a series of guerrilla attacks began to take shape in "lower Rio Grande valley, led by Venustiano Carranza adherents of two Texas residents, Aniceto Pizaña and Luis De la Rosa.

The U.S. government refused to recognize the revolutionary movement as such, listed as "bandits" or as remnants of the recently deceased Huerta government army, later called them "rebels" were actually small groups of Texan- Mexicans, with the support of Carranza, with the clear intention to manipulate the movement for recognition of his government by the United States. In the following months until October of that year, when the United States recognizes the "fact" the government of Carranza, there is the "revolution under the plan of San Diego", and then decreases dramatically and disappear.

From July 1915 to July 1916, there are about 30 attacks in Texas, with the death of 21 Anglo-American, and economic losses of billions of dollars, the death of Mexican and Texan-Mexicans are estimated to number between 200 and 300, other amounts are frightening figures, of which we can be sure of is of a spiral of racial violence that would last for many years.

In this context the photo was taken in the book by Robert Marshall Utley: Lone star lawmen: the second century of the Texas Rangers ", we find a very descriptive paragraph:

" Army scout John Peavy Told of an incident in late September near Ebenezer, in Hidalgo County, Driving up the river road, and I His commander on meat from about ten Mexicans hanginging limbs Beside the road. Judge Wells, passing Several weeks later, counter rise Badly decomposed Bodies That Had Been Dragged Into the brush. I Had Been Recalled That Each shot in the forehead. Peavy dates this deed September 28, 1915. "

Question: Aurelio Escobar Castellanos was in the United States between the second half of 1915 and the first of 1916?

A. yes

The manifesto of departure for foreigners heading to the United States, No. 3053, dated September 9, 1918, Mexico City, Aurelio Escobar sits in that time have resided in Columbia, South Carolina. In Texas, his half brother lived Ventura C. Escobar, married to an American.

is relevant to mention the story of another photographer, Robert Runyon.

He came to Brownsville, Texas in 1909, initially working as a seller of sandwiches, fruit and sweets, etc., In St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway between Houston and Brownsville, after a couple of months will be offered the opportunity to manage the lunchroom, the local curio and newspapers, in the railway station, later, 1910, opened a photographic studio and started the business selling postcards. His photographs document the life and history of "Lower Rio Grande Valley, and northeastern Mexico.

During summer and autumn of 1913, attention focused on political and military events in Mexico. On June 3, General Lucio Blanco and his Constitutionalist forces captured Matamoros, Brownsville's sister city in Mexico. Runyon The next day crossed the border to photograph everything I saw, later attended the handing over of land in Sheep, August and continued to accompany troops to Ciudad Victoria White. A few months later he returned to photograph the revolutionary events in Monterrey.

Robert Runyon, postal, railway derailment in Olmito, Texas, 1915.

In Texas, photographed two events related to the "Bandit War" (Plan de San Diego). In August 1915 the attack on the Norias ranch, and the October 10 train derailment in Olmito. According to Joe Ideker and Kendall Curlee, Runyon was the only professional photographer to photograph two attacks. Runyon's presence could have a particular reason ...

The "Bandit War," caused a conflict of a racial nature, leaving no room for neutrality, many Mexican families or Texas-Mexican and domiciled in South Texas, migrated to Mexico, or northern areas of the flee state excessive violence, the same can be said of the Anglo population. Runyon was among the two groups and certainly the need was determined.

July 4th 1913, Runyon a date for more than important, he married Amelia Leonor Medrano, a member of one of the most prominent families in Matamoros, Mexico. To make matters worse his brother Joseph C. Medrano, was part of the forces of General Blanco, and through it obtained permission to accompany them campaigning in Ciudad Victoria and Monterrey jack.

Permission granted to R. Runyon for addressing the Railroad, 1914. Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, RUN00226.

Apparently, after the August 15 attack, the Rangers saw a good opportunity to send a message to the "seditious" and Carranza, Mexico and the United States the next morning Robert Runyon arrived by rail. In one of the footage appears Captain Fox, Ranger Tom Tate and an unidentified man, bound with ropes from their horses, the bodies of two rebels on foot, a third party neck, and the fourth side. Runyon Brownsville back in the widely distributed as a postcard, with the inscription: "Killed at Norias Bandits." The image circle also in several newspapers, angering the Mexican community on both sides of the border and strengthening the revolutionary movement of the Plan of San Diego, while deeply darken the reputation among some sectors of the Rangers.

Critics sought an explanation, in research conducted in February 1919, the testimony of Gordon Hill downplayed as mere snapshot images, snapshots, where the Rangers allegedly pulled the bodies for burial. Without making clear why not use a car, help the ranch, or more humane attitude to place bodies on the horses.

One of the tests against, argued the staging, is the existence of 6 shots, with attitudes and different viewing angles, plus another amount of photographs of bodies and Rangers. In the words of Robert Marshall Utley:

Robert Runyon, postcard, photograph taken after the attack on The Norias, 1915.

"So Damaged so the pictures That WAS the Ranger image not mere snapshot. Whether to Imply a victory in Which They Took no part, or Their power project to rebellious Mexicans, Anglos or reassure They Were winning the "bandit war", the Rangers readily cooperater Runyon arranged as multiple Compositions of the Same scene. It Achieved all three purposes. "

The attack began at 8.30 pm. day 15, and advocates over the phone asked for help from Brownsville and Kingsville, which came later than two addresses in Brownsville and Edinburg, when it was over. Ranges But instead of starting a chase when the rebels were still nearby, preferring to wait until the next day, Robert Runyon knew that was coming ...

And we can not think of the accident, when a photographer with Carranza affiliation with the aggravation of being Anglo-American married to a Mexican, was given so little edifying mission.

The revolutionary events in Texas, known as "bandit war", is the least documented photographically, and we might think about the fate of a Mexican photographer, living in the United States with family in Brownsville, they had had the audacity to photographing the atrocities of the Rangers and sign your work ...

Preview Of Rims On My Car

(Imperatrix mundi), Part 2. EMPRESS OF THE WORLD


"All day with that crap, - repeated .- And my daughter Julia Soemia also supported him in his extravagances and follies, even in its mass orgies followed him, something not seen since the days of depraved Caligula. Mother and son were so a kind. Did I and I alone am the only sensible and fair to this family? Why they have not inherited my intelligence and my talent for politics and the affairs of state, why? - Wondered over and over again.

Not to mention the antipathy felt by the wives and lovers who had thrown her grandson, the Vestal, to the scandal and the repercussions at all levels, which represented his first marriage to her, the widow , the charioteer, the athlete ... and so many other casual fans to the emperor Heliogabalus, which conveniently female makeup and wrapped in silk that quickly brought down to his feet, gave his body night after night, sometimes even in return for a paltry pence, as if it were a common prostitute ... The ridicule to which he came degenerate teenager had no limits, nor had them cruelty, which reached the highest peaks precisely when he tried to get the nice, funny, and invited the patrician as he crossed on the way Facilities where the food is served or insect feces containing poisonous or not, smothered with the sweet aroma of millions of rose petals and violets poured over them.

- How could they be so different from my two grandchildren? Why Vario what was the polar opposite of Alexander, under which differed so much? - Back to question Grandma.

Vario Avitus, who took the name Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, later mutarlo by Heliogabalus, was a wild boy, mercurial, amoral, who reveled in shocking the people and the Senate with their licentious, with its uninhibited bisexual and rampant and the worst of all, beyond the control of his yaya, your domain, there was no way to make him see reason on any subject suggested by the matriarch of the clan. He was too independent and libertine. Rome no longer accept him as their Imperator Caesar Augustus and his grandmother Julia Maesa either. However, his cousin Alexander Bassiano enthroned later as Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander (though better known as Alexander Severus) was just the opposite, gentle and peaceful nature, the property was his obedience by her grandmother had turned their eyes to him.

"Yes, without doubt, my decision was the correct one - was said to herself, Julia Maesa, nodding his head without realizing it.


trying to get away from it the ghosts of doubt and remorse. That she had instigated the plot to overthrow wayward grandson Elagabalus and replace him with Alejandro, clearly more submissive and obedient. But even so, not expecting an ending as tragic and bloody. That he had gotten out of hand, although it was not his fault, no, it was not, - insisted in his heart, - the head of the crime were the praetorian cause of the massacre. They alone were to blame, she had not done what he considered a good for Rome and for his dynasty: the Severe. The sacrifice of their own was just and necessary, but picking on the corpses and regarded it as demeaning.

- Why did they have to beheaded and quartered? And if that were not enough, then drag their remains through the streets as if they were dogs and throw his young Elagabulus the waters of the Tiber. As if it was not humiliating enough for an emperor killed him among the dregs of a toilet ... did not realize those were tarnishing Pretoria patrician blood, indeed imperial blood? That will never forgive those infamous murderers and glitches, but ... was more appropriate for now silent, lest the spirits return to fray against members of his family.

had to ensure the future of the daughter and grandson that he still had in him, his young Alexander, a boy, anointed as emperor, would be the glory. In it, Julia Maesa ... Only the power!

raised his piercing black eyes despachurrado fruit lying on the floor and smiled slightly as Senator in front of him and trying to establish a dialogue with it. It was useless, Julia was not listening, still absorbed, immersed in their deepest thoughts, he had noticed the happiness that he sought the holding of such an extraordinary privilege and could feel a sense of euphoria took hold of her, ascending through the inside excessive manner. Suddenly his smile was delayed to end up in a sudden burst and laughter. She was radiant, in those moments again feel the Empress of the world.

FIN.

(Imperatrix mundi), Part 1.

His gaze was fixed on the pulp of figs that had just opened with trembling pulse. Her nails, long and slightly curved, yellowed by time, had messed with the sweet, sticky fruit juice, and within this, with its crimson hairs reminded him that bloody mass that had become ominous Praetorian Guard the flesh of his flesh, but knew it was a necessary evil than itself, much to his chagrin, he had led.

disdainfully dropped the fruit and it hit the pavement, leaving him partially attached, such was his level of maturity.
