Chapter 3

By her he had the following children: Titus, Domitia and Domitilla. He outlived his wife and daughter, and lost them both before he became emperor. After the death of his wife he renewed his union with his former concubine, Caenis, the freedwoman of Antonia, and also her amanuensis, and treated her, even after he was emperor, almost as if she had been his lawful wife.
