Description
Salonia Matidia was the daughter and only child of Ulpia Marciana and wealthy praetor Gaius Salonius Matidius Patruinus. Her maternal uncle was the Roman emperor Trajan. Trajan had no children and treated her like his daughter. Her father died in 78 CE and Matidia went with her mother to live with Trajan and his wife, Pompeia Plotina.
The work is identified as the "So-called Matidia", meaning the sitter has not formally been confirmed. With this said, it is conformed that she is a member of the "Ulpic Emperor Genus" - Bernoulli.
