Thermantia
Aemilia Materna Thermantia〔=〕 (died 415) was the second Empress consort of Honorius, Western Roman Emperor.
==Family==
She was a daughter of Stilicho, magister militum of the Western Roman Empire, and Serena. Thermantia was a sister of Eucherius and Maria. "De Consulatu Stilichonis" by Claudian reports that her unnamed paternal grandfather was a cavalry officer under Valens, Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire. Orosius clarifies that her paternal grandfather was a Romanized Vandal.〔Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire, vol. 1〕 The fragmentary chronicle of John of Antioch, a 7th-century monk tentatively identified with John of the Sedre, Syrian Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch from 641 to 648〔(Catholic Encyclopedia, "John of Antioch" )〕 calls the grandfather a Scythian, probably following Late Antiquity practice to dub any people inhabiting the Pontic-Caspian steppe as "Scythians", regardless of their language. Jerome calls Stilicho a semi-barbarian, which has been interpreted to mean that Maria's unnamed paternal grandmother was a Roman.〔
The poem "In Praise of Serena" by Claudian and the "Historia Nova" by Zosimus clarify that Maria's maternal grandfather was an elder Honorius, a brother to Theodosius I.〔(Claudian, "In Praise of Serena", Loeb Classical Library, edition 1922 )〕〔Zosimus, ''Historia Nova'', Book five, 1814 translation by Green and Chaplin〕 Both were sons of Count Theodosius and an elder Thermantia, as clarified in the "Historia Romana" by Paul the Deacon. Genealogists consider it likely that Maria was named after their maternal grandmother, tentatively giving said grandmother the name "Maria".〔(Ronald Wells, "Ancient Ancestors" )〕
