Calpurnia (wife of Caesar)
Calpurnia was the third and last wife of Julius Caesar. Born in 75 BC, she was the daughter of Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, consul in 58 BC, and sister of Lucius Calpurnius Piso (Pontifex), consul in 15 BC.〔''Caesar's Gallic War, Book 1,
Julius Caesar, Hinds & Noble, 1898, pg. 83.〕
==Marriage and Caesar's demise==
Calpurnia married Caesar in late 59 BC. Contemporary sources describe her as a humble, often shy woman.〔''Cicero: The Secrets of his Correspondence'', Volume 1, Jerome Carcopino translator, Taylor & Francis, 1951, pg. 352.〕 No children resulted from their union. Caesar's daughter, Julia, was likely older than her stepmother, and had married Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus around the same time. Following Caesar's death in 44 BC, Calpurnia delivered all Caesar's personal papers, including his will and notes, and his most precious possessions to the consul Marcus Antonius, one of Caesar's most trusted allies. She never remarried.
According to a tradition reported in some ancient sources,〔''Vita Caesaris'', chapters 19–24, recounts Caesar's assassination; extracts are quoted in (【引用サイトリンク】 title= The Assassination of Julius Caesar, 44 BC ). For an assessment of Nicolaus and his sources see Sihler, E.G. ''Annals of Caesar: A Critical Biography with a Survey of the Sources'' (New York : G. E. Stechert, 1911), pp. 293–4〕 Calpurnia had a premonition about her husband's murder and endeavoured in vain to warn him. Unaware that praetor Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus was one of the conspirators against her husband, she asked him to send word to the Senate that Caesar was ill and unable to attend. However, Caesar rejected this plan, and Brutus escorted him into the hands of his enemies.
