Pictorial representation of Giulia in Ventotene
Although the Emperor August he was certainly very attached to his only daughter Giulia , with the passage of time, it seems that the disappointment and bitterness due to the libertine, unscrupulous and unregulated behavior, or that he considered such, of the young woman, led him to a significant change of feelings up to the extreme decision to send the girl in exile.
Giulia was then relegated to the small and then lost islet of Pandataria (Ventotene), although she, perhaps, many years later she was allowed to return to the continent, probably to Reggio Calabria, where she would have died in 14 AD, in the same year her father died.
The historian and biographer Suetonius he says that, desperate at the thought of having a daughter with similar behavior, every time he heard her name, Augusto used to exclaim:
"Oh, I had remained celibate and died without offspring!"
Bursting into tears every time.
