Octavia the Elder (lived 1st century BC), also known as
Octavia Major or
Octavia Maior (
Maior is Latin for
the Elder) was the daughter of the Roman governor and senator
Gaius Octavius by his first wife, Ancharia. She was also an elder half-sister to
Octavia the Younger and
Roman Emperor Augustus. Little is known of her life.
Plutarch only knows one daughter Octavia of Gaius Octavius and confuses Octavia the Elder with Octavia the Younger.
