(Vipsania) Julia or '''Julia Minor''' (in latin: '''Iulia Minor''', PIR2 I 635), most commonly known as '''Julia the Younger''', ( 19 BC – AD 28 or early 29 ) was the eldest daughter of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia The Elder ( Augustus ' daughter). Agrippina The Elder ( Germanicus ' wife) was her younger sister. Vipsania ( Tiberius ' and later Asinius Gallus ' wife), also a daughter of Vipsanius Agrippa, was their half-sister.

Augustus", LXIV – note that Augustus was member of the Julii Caesares Gens through (posthumous) adoption by the (maternal) uncle of his mother Atia - that maternal uncle was of course Julius Caesar ; Augustus was an Octavius by birth (hence his name Octavianus ''after'' that posthumous adoption had taken place).
