Julia (76-54 BC) was the daughter of the Roman dictator Julius Caesar and Cornelia, and the fourth wife of Pompey.
Biography[]
Julia was born in Rome in 76 BC, the daughter of Julius Caesar and his wife Cornelia, the daughter of Lucius Cornelius Cinna. Her mother died when she was seven years old, and she was raised by her paternal grandmother Aurelia Cotta.
She was initially engaged to marry her childhood friend Marcus Junius Brutus before their engagement was broken off, and she was instead married off to Pompey in 59 BC.
This marriage formed an alliance between Caesar and Pompey, cementing the First Triumvirate and causing great alarm among the Optimates. The middle-aged Pompey was infatuated with his young wife, and she was attached to her devoted husband, in spite of their age difference of 30 years.
She died in childbirth in 54 BC, falling into premature labor after mistakenly believing that her husband was killed by an angry mob during the election of aediles.
