Julia 39BC-AD14
Roman noblewoman

The daughter of the Emperor Augustus and Scribonia, she was married at the age of 14 to her cousin Marcellus, a nephew of Augustus. After his death (23BC) she married (21BC) Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, to whom she bore three sons and two daughters. He died (12BC), whereupon Julia was married to Tiberius (11BC). The marriage was unhappy and in 2BC, when her father learned of her adulteries, she was banished to the isle of Pandataria, and from there to Reggio, where she died of starvation. Her mother shared her exile.
