Cornelius Tacitus, The Annals (ed. Alfred John Church, William Jackson Brodribb), BOOK 1, chapter 53 (search)
That same year Julia ended her days. For her
profligacy she had formerly been confined by her father Augustus in the
island of Pandateria, and then in the town of the
Regini on the shores of the straits of Sicily. She had been the wife of Tiberius while Caius
and Lucius Cæsar were in their glory, and had disdained him as an
unequal match. This was Tiberius's special reason for retiring to Rhodes. When he obtained the empire, he left her in
banishment and disgrace, deprived of all hope after the murder of Postumus
Agrippa, and let her perish by a lingering death of destitution, with the
idea that an obscurity would hang over her end from the length of her exile.
He had a like motive for cruel vengeance on Sempronius Gracchus, a man of
noble family, of shrewd understanding, and a perverse eloquence, who had
seduced this same Julia when she was the wife of Marcus Agrippa. And this
was not the end of the intrigue. When she had been handed over to Tiberius,
her persistent para

By Scribonia he had a daughter named Julia, but no children by Livia, although extremely desirous of issue.
She, indeed, conceived once, but miscarried.
He gave his daughter Julia in the first instance to Marcellus, his sister's son, who had just completed his minority; and, after his death, to Marcus Agrippa, having prevailed with his sister to yield her son-in-law to his wishes; for at that time Agrippa was married to one of the Marcellas, and had children by her.
Agrippa dying also, he for a long time thought of several matches for Julia in even the equestrian order, and at last resolved upon selecting Tiberius for his step-son; and he obliged him to part with his wife at that time pregnant, and who had already brought him a child.
Mark Antony writes, "That he first contracted Julia to his son, and afterwards to Cotiso, king of Getae,He is mentioned by Horace:
Occidit Daci Cotisonis agimen. Ode 8, b. iii. Most probably Antony knew the imputation to be unfounded, and made it for th

He had three grandsons by Agrippa and Julia, namely, Caius, Lucius, and Agrippa; and two granddaughters, Julia and Agrippina.
Julia he married to Lucius Paulus, the censor's son, and Agrippina to Germanicus, his sister's grandson.
Caius and Lucius he adopted at home, by the ceremony of purchaseThis form of adoption consisted in a fictitious sale. See Cicero,
Topic iii. from
their father, advanced them, while yet very young, to offices in the state, and when they were consuls-elect, sent them to visit the provinces and armies.
In bringing up his daughter and grand-daughters, he accustomed them to domestic employments, and even spinning, and obliged them to speak and act every thing openly before the family, that it might be put down in the diary.
He so strictly prohibited them from all converse with strangers, that he once wrote a letter to Lucius Vinicius, a handsome young man of a good family, in which he told him, "You have not behaved very modestly, in making a visit to my daughte

After the death of Caesar, upon his return from Apollonia, as he was entering the city, on a sudden, in a clear and bright sky, a circle resembling the rainbow surrounded the body of the sun; and, immediately afterwards, the tomb of Julia, Caesar's daughter, was struck by lightning.
In his first consulship, whilst he was observing the auguries, twelve vultures presented themselves, as they had done to Romulus.
And when he offered sacrifice, the livers of all the victims were folded inward in the lower part; a circumstance which was regarded by those present, who had skill in things of that nature, as an indubitable prognostic of great and wonderful fortune.
Germanicus married Agrippina, the daughter of Marcus Agrippa and Julia, by whom he had nine children, two of whom died in their infancy, and another a few years after; a sprightly boy, whose effigy, in the character of a Cupid, Livia set up in the temple of Venus in the Capitol.
Augustus also placed 'another statue of him in his bed-chamber, and used to kiss it as often as he entered the apartment.
The rest survived their father; three daughters, Agrippina, Drusilla, and -Livilla, who were born in three successive years; and as many sons, Nero, Drusus, and Caius Caesar.
Nero and Drusus, at the accusation of Tiberius, were declared public.enemies.
