(Statue of) Julia Augusta, daughter of Augustus, Hera

Commentary

One of the Sebasteion group of dedications to the imperial family (9.37=72.224, 9.38=72.237, 9.39=72.275, 9.40=73.145, 9.33=77.123, 9.26=80.172, 9.27=82.108, 9.35=82.109, 9.28=82.116, 9.34=82.117, 9.29=82.118, 9.36=82.210, 9.30=84.30, 9.31=84.31, and 9.32=84.41). On these see Reynolds (1996), Ruler-cult at Aphrodisias. While on first discovery it seemed that this could be Julia daughter of Titus, the subsequent discoverie provide a Julio-Claudian context. Julia might be Julia, daughter of Augustus, but she is more probably Livia, adoptive daughter of Augustus after his death.
