MANLIA SCANTILLA, wife of Didius Julianus
Manlia Scantilla was the wife of Didius Julianus. Her name indicates that she was born into the gens Manlia, which if correct, indicates an illustrious patrician ancestry; however, she may have been descended from a freed slave belonging to a member of that gens. Manlia Scantilla married the general Didius Julianus before his succession. |
