Didia Clara

Didia Clara was a daughter and the only recorded child of the Roman emperor Didius Julianus and empress Manlia Scantilla.

After Didius Julianus purchased the throne of the Roman Empire at an auction held by the praetorian guardsmen early in 193, he was accorded the title of Augustus by the Senate.

The author of the Historia Augusta reports the two women received the honors "with both trepidation and reluctance as if they already foresaw catastrophe";[1] however, Herodian claims they were primary instigators of his bid to power.

[4] When her father died on 1 June 193, the new emperor Septimius Severus removed her title.

Didia Clara survived her parents; however her fate afterwards is unknown.
