Junia Lepida

Junia Lepida

Junia Lepida (Classical Latin: IVNIA•LEPIDA, "PIR2" I 861) was the younger sister of Junia Calvina. Through her mother Aemilia Lepida, she was a descendant of Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Triumvir Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. Her brother was Marcus Junius Silanus Torquatus, a member of the ancient Junia family.

She married Gaius Cassius Longinus. Cassius was a person with remarkable ancestral wealth. They raised their nephew Lucius Junius Silanus Torquatus, whose father was murdered by Agrippina the Younger. In 66 AD, Lepida's husband and nephew were expelled from Rome by Nero. Cassius was deported to Sardinia where he died of natural causes. Lepida was accused by Nero of black magic and incest with her nephew. Her fate afterwards is not known.
