Marcus Porcius Cato Salonianus The Younger
According to other sources (and in the fiction of Colleen McCullough), the younger Cato Salonianus was first married to the daughter of a wealthy Roman equestrian but the marriage was childless and unhappy. He was divorced by her after his adultery with Livia Drusa, sister of Marcus Livius Drusus was discovered. He then married Livia Drusa, and with her had two children: Cato the Younger and Porcia (sister of Cato the Younger) (before 95 BC-46 BC/45 BC) by her. Her son Quintus Servilius Caepio (son of Q. S. Caepio the Younger) (who adopted his nephew Marcus Junius Brutus as his heir) was also purportedly fathered by Cato Salonianus.
