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.

A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word. There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.
