Correct this familyAbout this person
Born around 85 BC into the Julian family, Atia was the daughter of Julia Minor, making her Julius Caesar's niece. She married Gaius Octavius and bore him a son, Gaius Octavius, and a daughter, Octavia. Her son was still a teenager when Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, but the dictator had named him heir - and that inheritance reshaped the Roman world. Atia died around 43 BC, in the early years of the civil wars, before her son secured power and took the name Augustus. Through Octavia, her bloodline extended to Germanicus and the emperor Claudius, threading her DNA through the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
