Salonii

niece of Roman emperor Trajan (68-119)

brother-in-law of emperor Trajan

Salonia was the daughter of a Roman slave and freedman who lived during the mid-2nd century BC, and who was the second wife of Cato the Elder. She was the young daughter of the freedman Salonius who was an under-secretary to Cato the Elder. She is sometimes erroneously equated with the enslaved woman who, following the death of his first wife, secretly visited Cato in his bed.
