Calpurnia was either the third or fourth wife of Julius Caesar, and the one to whom he was married at the time of his assassination.According to contemporary sources, she was a good and faithful wife, in spite of her husband's infidelity; and, forewarned of the attempt on his life, she endeavored in vain to prevent his murder.
Pompeia (fl. 1st century BC) was either the second or third [i] wife of Julius Caesar. Pompeia's parents were Quintus Pompeius Rufus, a son of a former consul, and Cornelia, the daughter of the Roman dictator Sulla. Caesar married Pompeia in 67 BC, [1] after he had served as quaestor in Hispania, his first wife Cornelia having died in 69 BC.

Suetonius reports that Caesar and Cornelia were married in the consulate occurring after Caesar lost his father, which occurred in his sixteenth year. [1] In Suetonius' chronology, Caesar was born in 100 BC, placing the death of his father in 85 or 84.
None-the less she was identified by Suetonius as one of Caesar's many mistresses. Cicero possibly makes an innuendo towards the affair in one of his letters. [6] Historians Tyrrell and Purser have proposed that Postumia may have been the one who encouraged her son to join in Caesar's army during the Civil War, when his father sides with Pompey. [7]
