Welcome to the talk page for Julia, daughter of Julius Caesar. Unfortunately, I feel that after my recent edits, the article is now quite stable. This is due to fact that there is not so much information about her in the classical sources. Nevertheless the section concerning Julia's appearances in literature should be increase its size over time. Thanks in advance for your constructive edits. :) -- Pichote 10:26, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
This one sentence kinda bugs me...
I've changed this to
I think it's a little more readable without losing any facts. Anyone agree/disagree? Jodamn 06:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
The date of the birth of Julia is uncertain. The idea that it was c. 83 seems based on a reading of Suetonius, Divine Julius 1.1, that assumes that when he say that Julia was born 'after' Caesar and Cornelia married, that meant soon after. But Suetonius does not say 'soon', and if Julia was born this early, she would have been twenty-three or twenty-four when she married Pompey in 59 BC. This seems very old for a daughter of a leading Roman politician and aristocrat to be unmarried, and a later date of birth seems more likely. The Oxford Classical Dictionary says c. 73, which is possibly on the late side, but still plausible.
There seems also to be no reliable evidence that her mother Cornelia died in childbirth, though it is possible. Tony Keen2 ( talk) 12:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
More than one person can be identified as a Julia, daughter of Caesar, (Mark Antony's mother for example). Julia (wife of Pompey) would be more appropriate, even if her father is already the most notable Caesar. Avilich ( talk) 17:47, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
According to the above-mentioned precision criterion, when a more detailed title is necessary to distinguish an article topic from another, use only as much additional detail as necessary.(emphasis mine). Thus we can have Andrew Jones (priest), even though it is almost certain that more than one priest named Andrew Jones exists, because we only have one article titled as such.
