Cornelia Scipio

Cornelia Scipio

Cornelia Scipio or Cornelia Scipionis (around 46 BC-16 BC) was the daughter of Scribonia Libo and the consul Publius Cornelius Scipio Salvito. She married the son of Lucius Aemilius Lepidus Paullus. Her husband was Lucius Aemilius Paullus, who served as a censor and brother to consul Aemilius Lepidus Paullus. Their first son Lucius Aemilius Paullus married his cousin Julia the Younger and their second son Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (consul 6) became a senator. According to the Roman Poet Sextus Propertius, she had a daughter called Aemilia Lepida, who was born in 22 BC and little is known about her.

Cornelia was the younger full sister of Cornelius Scipio, the elder half-sister of Julia the Elder and aunt to Gaius Caesar, Julia the Younger, Lucius Caesar, Agrippina the Elder and Agrippa Postumus. She died in the same year her brother Cornelius Scipio was made consul. Emperor Augustus, her stepfather, grieved her death as he found her a worthy elder sister to his daughter, Julia. The poet Propertius wrote an elegy of Cornelia for her funeral, praising her virtue and family, including Scipio and Scribonia.
