Talk:Junia Calvina

Two different Juniae Calvinae?
Looking over this article and the other materials referring to Junia Calvina, I suspect there may be two distinct women by this name in the family of the Junii Silani.

The first, identified as the sister of Lucius Junius Silanus, and wife of Lucius Vitellius, apparently is the daughter of Appius Junius Silanus and Aemilia Lepida.

However, the Junia Calvina mentioned by Suetonius as having still been alive at the end of the reign of Vespasian may be a different woman. If she is the one shown in the inscription mentioned in this article, then her father may have been Marcus Junius Silanus, the brother of the first Junia Calvina. Suetonius' statement that she belonged to the family of Augustus would still be accurate, since her grandmother would have been Aemilia Lepida, the great-granddaughter of Augustus.

Proposed merger of Triaria into this article.
The articles Triaria and Junia Calvina appear to refer to the same woman. Junia Calvina seems to be the more historically-based article, while the Triaria seems to discuss traditions or anecdotes relating to her. Since neither article is particularly long, they could reasonably be discussed together under the title Junia Calvina, which seems to be the name by which she is best known.

Looking at Triaria it appears to be properly documented, but I have some concern about the very long name, Junia Calvina Milonia Caecena Alba Terentia assigned her in that article. It looks more like something that would appear in late Imperial times. I also note that Milonia Caesonia is the name of Caligula's fourth wife. It looks as if Junia's name has been combined with those of some other people. Someone probably should check the source cited for this name, or see if it's found in other sources.P Aculeius (talk) 02:25, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
