Marriage
She likely married Varus around 14 BC.[7] She was his second wife.[8] Their marriage was considered the reason why Varus was selected to be consul in 13 BC with Tiberius.[9][10] She might have been the mother of Sextus Nonius Quinctilianus if he was indeed Varus' son[11] or another son who served with his father in 4 AD.[12][13] Their marriage did not last much longer than a decade from his consulship, since by then Varus was married to another woman.[14]
Research
Her existence was first discovered to modern historians upon the rediscovery of a papyrus recounting Augustus' funeral oration for Agrippa which states that Varus and Tiberius were both sons-in-law to Agrippa.[15]
