Caecilia Attica

Pomponia Caecilia Attica (born around 51 BC) was the daughter of Cicero's friend and knignt Titus Pomponius Atticus. Her mother was a descendant of Marcus Licinius Crassus. Her father's sister married Quintus Tullius Cicero.

About 37 BC, she became the first wife of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. Their daughter Vipsania Agrippina was born in 36 BC. She was the mother-in-law of Tiberius, Gaius Asinius Gallus and grandmother to Drusus Julius Caesar and his half-brothers.

In 28 BC Agrippa married for a second time to Augustus' niece Claudia Marcella Major in a political alliance. It's unknown whether that Agrippa divorced Attica or she died.
