Livy "Ab Urbe condita" i. 7 [http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/10828] ] , and Quintus Pedius, by each of whom she had at least one son. [App. "B. C." iii. 22, 23;Suetonius " [http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Suetonius/12Caesars/Julius*.html Life of Julius Caesar] " 83.] It is not known if it was the elder or the younger of the dictator's sisters who gave evidence against Publius Clodius Pulcher, when impeached for impiety in 61 BC. [Suet. "Caes." 74; Schol. Bob. "in Clod." p. 337, Orelli.] Not much is known on the life of the elder sister or whether if she had married the above named people.econd Eldest Sister of Julius Caesar
Julia (101 BC-51 BC) was the second sister of

*Atia Balba Caesonia - mother of first EmperorAugustus and ofOctavia Minor (fourth wife of triumvirMark Antony ) .
* Atia Balba Tertia - mother ofLucius Pinarius , who was a political supporter of Mark Antony.Julia and her mother had given the court a detailed and truthful account about the affair between Pompeia (her sister-in-law) and politician
Publius Clodius Pulcher . Caesar divorced Pompeia over the scandal. Balbus died in 52 BC and Julia died a year later. Julia’s youngest grandson and grandchild then known as Octavian (future Emperor Augustus) at age 12 to her honor delivered her funeral oration as her funeral.ources
