Talk:Julia the Younger

message: How about some dates? In Tacitus, Julia's death is put in AD 29, but not precisely: he simply says, "This was about the time when Julia died." I can't give the exact reference (my Penguin translation isn't that precise), but it's somewhere between IV.70 and IV.73. I've put c. AD 29.
As for her birth date, that's given in the page for Julia the Elder as 19 BC, although no references are given. However I've added that at the beginning of the article.

replies: text: I think that if it was anyone in particular, it was probably Julia Caesaris, not Vipsania Julia. I have read that, Ovid watched how Vipsania Julia carried out her affair, and Augustus may have even blamed his daughter and granddaughter's behaviour slightly on Ovid's poems. Consequently, Ovid went into voluntary exile.--Camblunt100 15:58, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Yes, I think she did. All of them went together. --80.193.19.191 19:13, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

text: I believe it is historians who refer to her as "Julia the Younger" because technically she wasn't "minor" to Julia the Elder. Julilla is the term I tend to use, sometimes she is referred to as Iulilla or Julilla ("Little Julia") but that is probably a recent distinction too. The name of Julia the Elder was Julia Caesaris whereas Julia the Younger's name was Vipsania Julia Agrippina. Then again, "Vipsania" Julia is a mouthful so they may indeed have just called her Julia. Some historians just refer to her as “the other” Julia, so it is quite likely. --Sophie-Lou 14:45, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I'd treat the naming issues before the biographical content. I'd make the title of the biographical content biographical notes and not life (really, there aren't enough data available to consider the few bits we have a "life" description). Footnotes at 100% (why should it be smaller than standard size?). And some other minor tweaks. --Francis Schonken 16:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the part where it says that Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was her son. The family tree in Barrett's Caligula: The Corruption of Power on page 83 indicates that this particular Lepidus is the son of man of the same name and whose wife is unknown. This detailed family tree of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty also indicates this.

thread_title: M. Aemilius Lepidus

message: It may be easy to understand that she is called Vipsania Agrippina like her half-sister, since her father was a Vipsanius Agrippa. But is there any confidential source that says she was called Julia Caesaris also? The name Julia Minor makes sense, since she was named Julia after her mother, so she was her mother's junior. But Caesaris? This cognomen was generally used to state the certain relationship between one individual to their father, however, in other cases, their mother or another further ancestor. Caesaris, in some articles I have read, more indicated one being a Caesar's daughter than his granddaughter (for one instance, G. Julius Caesar the Elder's granddaughter was commonly known as Atia, if any, Atia Balba, but not Atia Caesaris), so if Julia was called Julia Caesaris, she was likely the rare case that use the female form of her grandfather's cognomen as hers, didn't she?—Thắng L.Đ.Q.
