Aemilia Scaura

Aemilia Scaura (ca 100 BC – 82 BC) was the daughter of the Roman princeps senatus Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, a patrician, and his wife Caecilia Metella. She was married to Manius Acilius Glabrio, but divorced him at the insistence of her mother and her stepfather, the dictator Sulla, so that she could in turn marry Pompey, one of Sulla's supporters.[1] She died at Pompey's house while giving birth to the child from her first marriage.[2]
