Claudia Marcella Minor
Biography
Early life
Octavia was pregnant when she married
Marriages
Marcella's first known marriage was to the former consul and censor
There has been some speculation among historians such as George Patrick Goold[7] that her daughter Claudia Pulchra might have actually been the child of Publius Claudius Pulcher (the son of Clodius) from an earlier marriage, but others such as Syme have rejected this proposal.[8] Syme does on the other hand agree that Paullus (nor Appianus) likely wasn't Marcella's first husband,[9] as the marriage is recorded rather late, he instead proposed a marriage to a son of Lucius Marcius Philippus[b] who may have died or been repudiated before he was old enough to be consul or to Marcus Appuleius, Marcella's maternal half-cousin who is assumed to have died some time after his consulship in 20 BC.[10] Klaus Zmeskal believes that it was she and not her sister who was married to Iullus Antonius.[11]
In the next generation two
Legacy
In a tomb near Rome, numerous inscriptions have survived of slaves and freedmen of Marcella.[15] A columbarium located between the Via Appia and Via Latina in Rome belonged to the family of Marcella.[1] According to epigraphical evidence, the work on it was completed in 10, when the urns were divided among the shareholders of the company which had built the place.[1]
