Marriage and Children
Cassius was married to Volusia Vettia or Volusia Maeciana (c. 135 – aft. 175), daughter of Lucius Volusius Maecianus, and had at least three children (the Historia Augusta implies he may have had more):
- Avidius Heliodorus – banished by order of the emperor.
- Avidius Maecianus – killed after the revolt had been put down.
- Avidia Alexandra – was allowed to keep her freedom, although her movements were restricted.

Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or children:
“The best friend will probably get the best spouse, because a good marriage is based on the talent for friendship.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“One of the main things that interfere with our joy is the belief that if we try hard enough, read the right books, follow the right advice, and buy the right things, we could be perfect parents. If we are good enough as parents, our children will be perfect too.... Unfortunately, what comes from trying to live out this philosophy is not perfect children but worried parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
