[1] Julia was the first of three children born at Rome to Gaius Julius Caesar, a future proconsul, and his wife Aurelia.
She was the grandmother of Lucius Pinarius[i] and Quintus Pedius, who together with their cousin, Gaius Octavius, the grandson of Julia Minor, were named as Caesar's heirs in the dictator's will.
Caesar's wife, Pompeia, had volunteered to host the festival of the Bona Dea, which men were forbidden to attend.
During the festival, Clodius entered Caesar's house disguised as a woman, supposedly to seduce Pompeia.
Although Clodius was acquitted, the incident led Caesar, then the Pontifex Maximus, to divorce Pompeia, asserting that his wife should be above suspicion.
