Octavia Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I was reading in an incyclopedia that Augustus had two sisters called Octavia. One by Asha and the other by Augustus's father's first wife. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 The father of Augustus (Gaius Octavius) had a daughter (Octavia Maior) by his first wife (Ancharia). His second wife (Atia) was the mother of both Augustus and Octavia Minor. (Suetonius, The Life of Augustus, Chapters 3 and 4.) -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
