mother of Julius Caesar

Aurelia was the mother of Gaius Iulius Caesar. She was probably born around 120 BC. She died in the year 54 BC. The Roman historian Tacitus wrote that she was a good mother. Because her father had the surname Cotta, she is sometimes called Aurelia Cotta. The family of the Aurelii Cottae had a lot of influence during that time.
