Julia the Younger«/b» (19 BC - c. AD 29)(«u»Classical Latin «/u»: IVLIA MINOR«u»[1]«/u») or «b»Julilla«/b» (little Julia) was a «u»Roman «/u» noblewoman of the «u»Julio-Claudian dynasty «/u». She was the second child of «u»Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa «/u» and «u»Julia the Elder «/u». Along with her sister «u»Agrippina the Elder «/u», Julia was raised and educated by her maternal grandfather «u»Augustus «/u» and her maternal step-grandmother «u»Livia Drusilla «/u».
«b»Life
«/b»About 5 BC or 6 BC, Augustus arranged her to marry «u»Lucius Aemilius Paullus (consul 1) «/u». Paullus had a family relation to her as her first half-cousin, as both had «u»Scribonia «/u» as grandmother: Julia's mother was a daughter of Scribonia by Augustus; Paullus' mother, «u»Cornelia Scipio «/u», was a daughter of Scribonia resulting from her earlier marriage to «u»Publius Cornelius Scipio Salvito «/u».
Paullus and Julia had a daughter, «u»Aemilia Lepida «/u» and (possibly) a son, «u»Marcus Aemilius Lepidus «/u». According to Suetonius, she built a large pretentious country house. Augustus disliked large overdone houses and had it demolished
In 8, according to ancient historians, Julia was exiled for having an affair with Decimus Junius Silanus, a Roman Senator. She was sent to «u»Trimerus«/u», a small Italian island, where she gave birth to a child. Augustus rejected the infant and ordered it to be exposed, or left on a mountainside to die. Silanus went into voluntary exile, but returned under Tiberius' reign.
Sometime between 1 and 14, her husband Paullus was executed as a conspirator in a revolt. Modern historians theorize that Julia's exile was not actually for adultery but for involvement in Paulus' revolt. «u»Livia «/u» Drusilla plotted against her stepdaughter's family and ruined them. This led to open compassion for the fallen family. Julia died on the same island where she had been sent in exile twenty years earlier. Due to the adultery that Julia committed, Augustus stated in his will that she would never be buried in Rome She was survived by her son and daughter and by several grandchildren.
«b»Variants of her name
«/b»Julia is also mentioned under following names:
«tab» Vipsania Julia Agrippina;
«tab»Iulilla;
«tab»Julia, Augustus' granddaughter
«tab»Julia (Caesaris) minor.
She was not «u»Julia Caesaris «/u» by birth: being the daughter of a Vipsanius Agrippa makes her a «i»Vipsania Agrippina«/i» by birth, although there are no contemporary sources that show that that name would have been used for her. She came to belong to the household of the «u»Julio-Claudian dynasty «/u» as she was raised and instructed by her maternal grandfather Augustus. Further Augustus adopted «u»Tiberius «/u» as his son (and heir), and while Tiberius was remarried to Julia the Elder, Augustus sort of became «i»paternal«/i» grandfather to Julia the Elder's children too, including Julia the Younger. A «i»formal«/i» adoption "in the «u»family of the Caesars «/u»" among the offspring of M. Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia the Elder is however only recorded regarding Vipsania Julia's brothers Gaius \emdash hence «u»Gaius Caesar «/u» \emdash and Lucius \emdash hence «u»Lucius Caesar «/u». Her youngest sister («u»Agrippina the Elder «/u») and brother («u»Agrippa Postumus «/u») are usually called after their natural father. Likewise, her eldest half-sisters («u»Vipsania Agrippina «/u» and «u»Vipsania Marcella «/u») were named after their father Vipsanius (Agrippa). Her youngest half-brother, unnamed in contemporary sources, was later sometimes dubbed Tiberillus, after his father Tiberius.
Note that also the younger of the two «u»sisters of Julius Caesar «/u» is sometimes named Julia (Caesaris) minor by historians.
