Iulla Antonia


Iulla Antonia, is thought to be a daughter of Roman consul of 10 BCE Iullus Antonius and Claudia Marcella Major. The only direct evidence of her existence that has been found is a funerary urn.

History

Her mother likely had two daughters, Vipsania Marcella and Vipsania Marcellina from her earlier marriage to Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. She is known to have had one full sibling, a brother named Lucius Antonius, and possibly another brother who died young.
Historian Ronald Syme notes that she has been used as an example to explain later descendants from Mark Antony among the Roman patricians of Imperial times, mainly that of a Junius Blaesus, this view was supported by G. V. Sumner.

Cultural depictions

Iulla may be depicted on the Ara Pacis with her parents. She and her brother Lucius appear in the novel Daughter of the Nile by Stephanie Dray.
