FILIA - Among the Romans a daughter was not always called after the prenomen of her father: for example, Herennia Etruscilla, daughter of (the emperor) Trajan, no paternal name having been taken for her, was called after that of her mother. The daughters of emperors are on some coins styled Augustae: on others that appellation is omitted. Thus Faustina Junior is sometimes read AVGVSTI PII FILIA; at other times FAVSTINA AVG PII AVG FILIA. In a like manner |Julia|, the daughter of Titus, is numismatically styles either IVLIA AVGVSTA TITI AVGVSTI F or IVLIA IMP T AVG F AVGVSTA and also DIVI TITI FILIA.
