Claudia Augusta (; January 63 – April 63)Klebs, E., & von Rohden, P., & Dessau, H. (1933) Prosopographia Imperii Romani saeculi I, II, III (De Gruyter), p. 404 was the only daughter of the Roman Emperor Nero.Suetonius, Life of Nero, 35.3 She was born to the emperor's second wife, the Empress Poppaea Sabina. Claudia and her mother were honored with the title of Augusta by Nero. She was born in Antium in January 63 and died four months later of natural causes.Charlesworth, Martin Percival, Guy Edward Farquhar Chilver, and M T Griffin, 'Nero, Roman emperor' (7 Mar. 2016), in Lucy Grig (ed.), Oxford Classical Dictionary. Note that this source lists her birthday as being in 41, but this would imply Nero fathered her at 4 years old.
To celebrate her birth, the Senate voted a public thanksgiving, a temple to be dedicated to the goddess of fecundity, games and commemorative contests in the style of Actium, golden statues of the two Fortunes set up on the throne of Jupiter in the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, and circus games in honour of the Claudian and Domitian families at Antium.
Nero and Poppaea Sabina mourned her death in a manner described as 'extravagant' by Tacitus. The Senate voted to deify her, and granted her a shrine, temple, and priest.Tacitus' Annals XV.23
