Aemilia Lepida (fiancee of Claudius)

Aemilia Lepida (5 BC – c. 43 AD) was a noble Roman woman and matron.

She may possibly have a brother named Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (6-39) who was married to Caligula's favorite sister Julia Drusilla.

[1] In her younger years, Lepida was betrothed to Claudius,[2] but her parents fell out of favour with Augustus so the emperor broke off the engagement.

By AD 13, Lepida had married Marcus Junius Silanus Torquatus, a member of the patrician branch of the ancient gens Junia.

She is sometimes said to have been poisoned on the orders of Agrippina the Younger during the reign of Nero, but this Lepida was evidently Domitia Lepida Minor, the mother of Valeria Messalina and the second wife of Appius Junius Silanus.
