[1] Junia Secunda was daughter of Servilia (who was the half-sister of Cato the Younger and mistress of Julius Caesar) and Decimus Junius Silanus.
Unlike his fellow triumvirs, Lepidus remained married to the same woman throughout his life, and seems to have been devoted to Junia.
[3] In a private letter to Atticus, however, Cicero claimed that Junia was unfaithful to Lepidus, on the grounds that her portrait was seen among the chattels of a debauchee called Publius Vedius (possibly Publius Vedius Pollio),[4] and expresses surprise that her husband and brother took no notice of her conduct.
[weasel words][citation needed] After her husband was forced from power by Octavian, Junia lost much of her status.
Her husband had to plead with his former enemy Lucius Saenius Balbinus to grant her bail so that she could remain with him until Octavian returned.
