EspañolJULIA CAESARIS (SISTER OF JULIUS CAESAR)
:''For other Roman women named Julia Caesaris, see Julia Caesaris''
'Julia' is the name of two daughters of Gaius Julius Caesar III and Aurelia Cotta, who were also the parents of Julius Caesar. The sisters were born and raised in Rome.
The eldest of the two is sometimes named ''Julia maior'' by historians (but not to be confused with Julia the Elder, the daughter of Augustus). Likewise, the youngest of the two sisters of Julius Caesar is sometimes named ''Julia minor'', but not to be confused with Julia the Younger, Augustus' granddaughter.
See family tree of the Julii Caesares pp. 536 - 537 of William Smith's ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology''.
The elder of the two sisters of Julius Caesar the dictator, married, but in what order is uncertain, Lucius Pinarius, of a very ancient patrician family [1], and Quintus Pedius, by each of whom she had at least one son.[2] It is not known if it was the elder or the younger of the dictator's sisters who gave evidence against Publius Clodius Pulcher, when impeached for impiety in 61 BC.[3] Not much is known on the life of the elder sister.
'Julia' (101 BC – 51 BC) was the second sister of Julius Caesar. She married Marcus Atius Balbus, a praetor and commissioner who came from a senatorial family. She bore him three daughters and they were Atia Balba Prima, Atia Balba Caesonia and Atia Balba Tertia.
Julia was the grandmother to Quintus Pedius, Gaius Octavius (future Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus), Octavia Minor (Suetonius, Augustus, clause 4) and Lucius Pinarius.
Julia and her mother had given the court a detailed and truthful account about the affair between Pompeia (wife of Julius Caesar) (her sister-in-law) and Publius Clodius Pulcher. Her brother had divorced Pompeia over the scandal.
Her husband died in 52 BC. Julia died a year later and her grandson Augustus at age 12 in her honor delivered her funeral oration.
