By the time of her birth, Scaurus was around 70 and, as '' Princeps Senatus '', the speaker of the Senate , was one of the most important politicians of Rome . After her father's death, Aemilia was raised by her mother's second husband Lucius Cornelius Sulla , who took care of her education and fortune. Sulla also used his stepdaughter for political alliances. In 82 BC, Aemilia was married and pregnant from a man who dared to criticize the dictator's conduct. Sulla was most displeased and forced the divorce. Immediately afterwards, Aemilia was married to Gnaeus Pompey Magnus , while still pregnant from her first husband. This marriage boosted Pompey's political career because Aemilia was an aristocratic patrician, while he was from a recent senatorial family. Aemilia died in childbirth shortly afterwards. Via Aemilia Scaura is a Roman Road built by Marcus Aemilius Scaurus . |
