They had three children, Gaius Julius, the father of the Dictator, Sextus Julius, and Julia, who became the wife of Marius.

Gaius Julius held no higher office than Praetor.

He was married to Aurelia, a stately woman of simple and severe tastes.

Their son Gaius was born on July 12th, 100.
During Cinna's consulship (86), Caesar is first mentioned as a youth, tall, slight, handsome, with dark, piercing eyes, sallow complexion, and features refined and intellectual.

The bloody scenes attending the proscription of his uncle Marius, to whose party his father belonged, must have made a deep impression upon him.
