Claudia Augusta

Claudia Augusta (January 63 – May 63) was the only daughter of the Roman Emperor Nero. She was born to the emperor's second wife, the Empress Poppaea Sabina. Claudia and her mother were honored with the title of Augusta by Nero. She was born in Antium on 21 January 63 and later died five months after, of an unknown illness. Nero and Poppaea Sabina mourned her death and Claudia was declared a goddess. Gold statues were placed in temples and circus games were held in Claudia's honor while a shrine and a priest were dedicated to her shortly afterward.
