Iulla Antonia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iulla Antonia or Julia Antonia, was a daughter of Roman consul Iullus Antonius and Claudia Marcella Major. Her elder brother was Lucius Antonius and her maternal half-siblings were Vipsania Marcella and Appuleia Varilla.
Iulla’s maternal grandparents were Octavia Minor (second elder sister to Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus) and Roman consul Gaius Claudius Marcellus Minor. Her paternal grandparents were Fulvia and Roman Triumvir Mark Antony. Through her paternal grandmother, she is a descendant of the Roman politician Gaius Gracchus and the Roman General Scipio Africanus Major who defeated Hannibal.
Iulla was born in Rome, after 19 BC and was raised there. In 2 BC, her father executed by her great-uncle, because he had an affair with Augustus’ daughter Julia the Elder. Little is known on her life.
