Wife of Whom?

[edit]

This article alleges that Aemilia Lepida, the great-grand-daughter of Augustus Caesar was wife to Appius Junius Silanus, a dubious claim, and one not maintained by most historians. She may well have been the wife to Marcus Junius Silanus the Elder, as the article on Marcus Junius Silanus the Younger alleges in ~ contradiction ~ to this article.72.199.110.160 (talk) 18:46, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship to Marcus Aemilius Lepidus

[edit]

According to Barrett, Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (6-39), who was married to Caligula's sister Drusilla, was the cousin of Aemilia Lepida, not her younger brother as was originally stated in this article. The father of M. Aemilius Lepidus was also called M. Aemilius Lepidus (consul in AD 6), while Aemilia's father was his brother, L. Aemilius Paullus. I have now corrected this detail in the article. I see however that this contradicts the information given in the article for M. Aemilius Lepidus; see the talk page to that article for further discussion.
