Some of the famous women of the gens Julia (who therefore had this name) were the following.

1. Wife of Marius and sister of Julius Caesar's father.

2. Sister of Julius Caesar and mother of Atia, who was the mother of the emperor Augustus.

3. Daughter of Julius Caesar and his first wife Cornelia, and wife of Pompey. She died in childbirth in 54 BC.

4. Daughter of Augustus and Scribōnia; she married her cousin, Augustus' nephew, M. Marcellus, in 25 BC, and after his death in 23 married in 21 M. Agrippa, by whom she became the mother of Gaius and Lucius Caesar, Julia, Agrippina, and Agrippa Postumus. Her third marriage, after Agrippa's death, to Tiberius, took place in 11 BC. In 2 BC Augustus finally learned of her adulteries and banished her to a small island; in AD 4 she was allowed to move to Rhegium. Scribonia, who had been divorced from Augustus since 39 BC, voluntarily shared her exile. She died in AD 14.

5. Livia, the wife first of Ti. Claudius Nero and afterwards of Augustus. Under the latter's will she was adopted into the Julian gens and renamed Julia Augusta.
