Vipsania Julia's full name was Vipsania Julia Agrippina (19 BC-AD 28). Julia was the eldest daughter to Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia Caesaris and the eldest grandchild to Caesar Augustus. Augustus raised and educated her. She is also known as Julia IV, Julia the Younger and Julia Caesaris the Younger. She was aunt to Agrippina the Younger and Caligula.
About 5 or 6 BC, Augustus arranged her to marry her cousin Lucius Aemilius Paullus (consul of AD 1). Paullus' father was a nephew to triumvir Marcus Aemilius Lepidus and his mother was Cornelia Scipio. Scipio and Julia Caesaris were half-sisters and children of the marriages to Scribonia.
Paullus and Julia had Aemilia Lepida and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. In AD 8, Julia was exiled for having an affair with a senator. She went to a small Italian island and gave a birth to a child. Augustus rejected the infant and ordered the infant to be left on a mountainside left to die. The senator was also exiled.
In AD 14, Paullus was executed as a conspirator in a revolt. Julia later remarried. Livia Drusilla plotted against her step-daughter's family and ruined them. This led to open compassion for the fallen family. Julia died in exile and was never buried in Rome.
