Talk:Julia (women of the Julii Caesares)

message: When died Augustus' daughter Julia Caesaris?
She died some time after Augustus' death in AD 14, but before AD 15 - Clearly stated in Tacitus, Annales 1.53 ("That same year Julia ended her days..."); cf. Ann.1.55, which commences the narration of events of AD 15.
:Hello. Julia Caesaris' (Julia the Elder) death is unknown for sure. We know that she died merely a few months after Augustus' death, who died in August. (If you're going to die, do it in your own month, eh?) Julia probably died in November. Anyway, no one knows for sure why Julia died. It may have been that the malnutrition was the result of Tiberius wanted to kill her off so he starved her to death. However, it is equally possible that she committed suicide when she heard her last surviving son was dead.--Sophie-Lou 12:21, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Some think only a few weeks after Augustus. The most amount of people know very little about her death, apart from that she probably died of starvation. A wide number of people think she may have been semi-executed/semi-murdered on Tiberius' order. Still, some historians think she killed herself. I think she may well have committed sucide in the end, though it depends on how you look at it. --Camblunt100 11:21, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

message: In Latin, Romans called her Iulia Caesaris, not Julia Caesaris.
Julia is an English type name, not Roman.
:At the time the Julia women were alive, the letter "J" hadn't been created yet, and it was represented by an "I" hence the Julia girls, for example, Augustus' daughter really spelt her name IVLIA CAESARIS. It's the female version of the name Julius and we all know how that was said.--Sophie-Lou 12:21, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Her real name?

message: I'm also happy that someone has finally sat down a written a story about her history. The blurb on Amazon.co.uk says the following:
This scholarly biography details the life of an extraordinary woman in an extraordinary society. "Julia Augusti" studies the life of the only daughter of Augustus, the first Roman emperor, and the father who sacrificed his daughter and her children in order to establish a dynasty. Studying the abundant historical evidence available, this biography studies each stage of Julia's life in remarkable detail: her childhood - taken from her divorced mother to become part of a complex and unstable family structure; her youth - set against the brilliant social and cultural life of the new Augustan Rome; her marriages - as tools for Augustus' plans for succession; and Julia's violation of her father's moral regime, and the betrayal of her absent husband. Reflecting new attitudes, and casting fresh light on their social reality, this outstanding biography will delight, entertain and inform anyone interested in this engaging Classical figure.

I'm seriously looking forward to getting this book. I asked for it for my birthday and my mother was more then happy to get it for me. She says that she wouldn't mind reading it either. --Sophie-Lou 16:25, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This book is one of the reasons why I enjoy having a nice income. It's not going to be cheap, apparently. I'll be fascinated to see all this material though, since the chapter headings astound me. It might read a little like a tragedy, since that's what her story was. It's not only a personal tragedy, but that of the Julian house, which this book will apparently delve into. Good stuff. --Jello 08:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's sad to think that as a result of all of this, it was one of the things that lead to the Julian house's downfall. I am really looking forwards to this book. It is high priced, I'm getting it in paper back because the proper bounded and cloth version costs £60.00! Thankfully the normal paper back is only £18.99. --Camblunt100 10:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Since you pronounce Caesar as kai-sahr. Would you pronounce Caesaris like the German title, Kaiserin or Kai-shr-eese?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.24.82.157 (talk) 01:57, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
