Career
By the time of her birth, Scaurus was around 70 and, as princeps senatus, the speaker of the Senate, was one of the most important politicians of Rome. After her father"s death, Aemilia was raised by her mother"s second husband Lucius Cornelius Sulla, who took care of her education and fortune. In 82 British Columbia, Aemilia was married and pregnant by a man who dared to criticize the dictator"s conduct.
Sulla was most displeased and forced the divorce.
This marriage boosted Pompey"s political career because Aemilia was an aristocratic patrician, while he was from a recent senatorial family. Aemilia died in childbirth shortly afterwards.
Via Aemilia Scaura is a Roman road built by Marcus Aemilius Scaurus.
