Her husband, the elder Gaius Caesar, was often away, so the task of raising their son fell mostly on Aurelia's shoulders.

After Cornelia's death in childbirth, Aurelia raised her young granddaughter Julia and managed her son's households.

Clodius was later charged with the crime of sacrilege by Lucius Lentulus since his trespass caused the interruption of the sacrifice.

Aurelia later appeared as a witness during the trial, along with her daughter Julia, testifying that she had ordered Clodius to leave.

[4] Caesar divorced Pompeia Sulla over this incident without any real proof she had committed adultery with Clodius.
