Porcia's father was a member of the Roman Optimate faction, and adamantly opposed Julius Caesar. Porcia embraced these ideals, and did not outwardly object to the arranged marriage. [12]
Julia was the first of three children born at Rome to Gaius Julius Caesar, a future proconsul, and his wife Aurelia.The exact year of Julia's birth is not known, but it must almost certainly have been before 103 BC as her youngest sibling Gaius was born at the earliest in 102 BC and there was a middle sister between them.
