Augustus and Julia’s Toxic Scandal

"So Augustus, the most powerful man in Rome, had only ONE biological daughter - Julia.

And their relationship? TOXIC. Julia was known for having... let's say,

a very active social life 👀 Multiple affairs with Roman nobles - which was a HUGE

scandal because Augustus had literally just passed laws about marriage and fidelity.

The hypocrisy? Augustus himself was famous for sleeping with basically anyone he wanted.

But Julia was a woman, so different rules. Eventually he exiled her for adultery.

She died in 14 AD - just months after her father - and they NEVER reconciled. Augustus literally

said she was 'his disease.' Oh, and fun fact: Her third husband Tiberius?
