 | | In public, they would be identified by the possessive form of their father's cognomen (e.g., Julia Caesaris, Julia, the daughter of Caesar&;), or if married by the possessive form of their husband's cognomen (e.g., Clodia Metelli, Clodia, the wife of Metellus). |
 | | For example, the two daughters of Augustus' daughter Julia, who was married to Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, would normally have been named Vipsania; instead one was called Julia and the other Agrippina. |
 | | When Agrippina married Nero Claudius Germanicus (grandson of Livia), her three daughters were named Agrippina, Drusilla, and Julia Livilla (referring to the family lines of both of their distinguished great-grandparents) instead of Claudia, which would refer to their father's nomen. |
