Athenais (daughter of Herodes Atticus)

[1] The paternal grandparents of Athenais were the Roman Senator Tiberius Claudius Atticus Herodes and the wealthy heiress Vibullia Alcia Agrippina,[2][1] while her maternal grandparents were the Roman Senator, Consul Appius Annius Trebonius Gallus and the aristocratic woman Atilia Caucidia Tertulla.

[1] The maternal uncle of Athenais was Appius Annius Atilius Bradua who served as an ordinary consul in 160.

After her father's consulship, Athenais and her family left Italy and moved to Greece, where they became a part of the highest Greek circle of society, particularly in Athens.

The parents of Athenais erected a great outdoor nymphaeum (a monumental fountain) at Olympia, Greece.

[6] The parents of Athenais had betrothed her to an Athenian aristocrat called Lucius Vibullius Rufus.
