Notes for Atia Balbus CAESONIA
[GREATx60 GRANDMOTHER]+ [A] [K] Atia Balba Caesonia (85 BC-43 BC) married the Macedonian governor and senator Gaius Octavius. Their children were Octavia Thurina Minor and a younger Gaius Octavius, later Caesar Augustus. In 59 BC, Octavius died on his way to Rome to stand for the consulship, and Atia married Lucius Marcius Philippus, the consul of 56 BC and a supporter of Julius Caesar. He loved raising his stepchildren alongside his own son and daughter from a previous marriage and arranged Octavia's first marriage, to the consul and senator Gaius Claudius Marcellus Minor. Atia was a religious and caring matron. Tacitus considered her as an ideal Roman Matron. - [1] [1] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atia
