Wife of Caesar, she is quite pretty, though Cleopatra had hoped that she's be plain. She has been married to Caesar for more than fourteen years at the time of his death, though she says that he has spent most of his time away, engaged in military campaigns. When Cleopatra asks why he doesn't divorce her, Caesar says that she's stood by him through the years of hard work and that he won't deny her the right to be with him as he reaps the benefits of that work.
