By Scribonia he had a daughter named
61.p70
Julia
61.p70
, but no children by
61.p70
Livia
61.p70
, although extremely desirous of issue. She, indeed, conceived once, but miscarried. He gave his daughter
61.p70
Julia
61.p70
in the first instance to
61.p70
Marcellus
61.p70
, his sister's son, who had just completed his minority; and, after his death, to Marcus Agrippa, having prevailed with his sister to yield her son-in-law to his wishes; for at that time Agrippa was married to one of the Marcellas, and had children by her. Agrippa dying also, he for a long time thought of several matches for
61.p70
Julia
61.p70
in even the equestrian order, and at last resolved upon selecting
61.p70
Tiberius
61.p70
for his step-son; and he obliged him to part with his wife at that time pregnant, and who had already brought him a child. Mark Antony writes, "That he first contracted
61.p70
Julia
61.p70
to his son, and afterwards to Cotiso, king of Getae,

demanding at the same time the king's daughter in marriage for himself."
