Julia Caesaris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Julia Caesaris (Classical Latin: IVLIA•CAESARIS) is the name of all women in the Julii Caesares patrician family (a subdivision of the Julii family), since feminine names were their father's gens and cognomen declined in the female form. (Male members of the Julii Caesares include Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus.) Several Juliae Caesares are cited by the ancient sources, notably the following:

Julia Caesaris (d. 69 BC) was the paternal aunt of Julius Caesar and the wife of Gaius Marius.
Julia Caesaris (approx. 104 BC – 40 BC), known in the sources as Julia Antonia to distinguish her from the others, was the wife of Marcus Antonius Creticus and mother of Gaius and Lucius Antonius and Mark Antony, the triumvir.
Julius Caesar had two elder sisters and were both called Julia Caesaris. Not much is known, on the elder sister. The younger sister (101 BC-51 BC), became the grandmother of Augustus.
Julius Caesar's only legitimate child to survive to adulthood, married strategically to Pompey to cement the First Triumvirate, died in childbirth in 54 BC.
Julia Caesaris (October 39 BC-AD 14), also known as Julia the Elder, was the only child of Augustus, from his second marriage with Scribonia.
Daughter of the previous, a.k.a. Julia Caesaris minor (or "the Younger"), a.k.a. Vipsania Julia.
Julia (c. 5 - c. 43), the daughter of Drusus the Younger and Livilla is known under several names, among which Julia Drusi Caesaris filia, Livia Julia, Julia Livilla. She was the granddaughter of Tiberius.
Germanicus (a member of the Claudii by birth) was adopted in the family of the Julii Caesares.
Despite the adoption of her father, Agrippina the Younger (Agrippina minor, 15–59)) is rarely indicated by the Julia Caesaris reference, usually "Agrippin(ill)a".
Julia Livilla or Julia Germanici filia (18 – late 41 or early 42), is also rarely indicated by the Julia Caesaris reference.
