Junia Claudilla from "Promptuarii Iconum Insigniorum "

Junia Claudilla (d. AD 34, 36 or 37),[1] also known as Junia Claudia,[1][2] was the first wife of the Roman Emperor Caligula before he came to power. They were married at Antium in 33.[1] Her father was a distinguished senator named Marcus Junius Silanus.[1] She died in 34,[3] 36,[4] or early 37[5] while giving birth to Caligula's first child, which also did not survive.[6]
