JULIA,

Daughter of Julius Cæsar and Cornelia, was one of the most attractive and virtuous of the Roman ladies. She was first married to Cornelius Cæpion, but divorced from him to become the wife of Pompey, who was so fond of her as to neglect, on her account, politics and arms. She died B.C. 53. Had she lived, there would not have been war between Cæsar and Pompey.
