Historical background

DIDIA CLARA

(04-06/193)

Augusta

Daughter of Dide Julien and Manlia Scantilla, Didia Clara received the title of augusta from her father in April 193. She married her cousin, Cornelius Repentinus, appointed prefect of the praetorium by her father-in-law in replacement of Claudius Sulpicianus, son-in-law of Pertinax . Dide Julien, a well-informed jurist, made his daughter his legatee and transmitted his patrimony to her, which did not prevent Septimius Sévère from confiscating Dide Julien's property after the elimination of the Emperor on June 1, 193.
