Encyclopedia > Junia Tertia

Junia Tertia, or Tertulla, (c. 60s BC - 22 AD) was the third daughter of Servilia Caepionis and her second husband Decimus Junius Silanus, half-sister of Marcus Junius Brutus, and wife of Gaius Cassius Longinus. Servilia Caepionis (1st century BC) is one of the few Roman women cited by ancient sources. ... Decimus (Junius) Silanus may refer to: Decimus Junius Silanus (Consul 62 BC), married to Servilia Caepionis Decimus Silanus, the senator who had an affair with Vipsania Julia Decimus Junius Silanus Torquatus (died 64), consul in 53. ... Marcus Junius Brutus. ... Gaius Cassius Longinus (Before 85 BC – October, 42 BC) was a Roman senator and the prime mover in the conspiracy against Julius Caesar. ...


As the relation of so many controversial figures of the late Roman Republic, many rumours swirled around Tertia. She was first said by some to be the natural daughter of Julius Caesar, her mother's lover at the time of her birth. Later on it was said that Servilia offered her up to Caesar when his interest in her mother began to wane. This caused Cicero to remark, at an auction where Caesar had sold goods to Servilia at reduced prices, that they had been discounted by a third (tertia). See also Roman Republic (18th century) and Roman Republic (19th century). ... Gaius Julius Caesar (IPA: ;[1]), July 12, 100 BC – March 15, 44 BC) was a Roman military and political leader. ... Marcus Tullius Cicero (IPA: ;) (January 3, 106 BC – December 7, 43 BC) was an orator and statesman of Ancient Rome, and is generally considered the greatest Latin orator and prose stylist. ...


Like her mother, Tertia was allowed to outlive her husband Cassius, unmolested by the triumvirs and Augustus. She survived to an advanced age, dying in the reign of the emperor Tiberius, around 22 AD. She had amassed a great estate in her long widowhood, and left her fortune to many prominent Romans, excepting the emperor himself. Tiberius returned the favor by allowing a large funeral to be held in her honor, but prohibiting the masks of Brutus and Cassius to be displayed in the procession. The term triumvirate is commonly used to describe an alliance between three equally powerful political or military leaders. ... Augustus (Latin: IMPERATOR CAESAR DIVI FILIVS AVGVSTVS[1]; September 23, 63 BC – August 19, AD 14), known as Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (in English Octavian) for the period of his life prior to 27 BC, was the first and among the most important of the Roman Emperors. ... Tiberius Caesar Augustus, born Tiberius Claudius Nero (November 16, 42 BC – March 16 AD 37), was the second Roman Emperor, from the death of Augustus in AD 14 until his own death in 37. ... For other uses, see number 22. ...
