Claudia Augusta (Classical Latin: [ˈklau̯dɪ.a]; January 63 – May 63) was the only daughter[1] of the Roman Emperor Nero and his second wife, the Roman Empress Poppaea Sabina. Claudia and her mother were honored with the title of Augusta by Nero. She was born in Antium on 21 January 63 and later died five months after,[2] of an unknown illness.

Her father, the Roman Emperor Nero

Nero and Poppaea Sabina mourned her death and Claudia was declared a goddess. Gold statues were placed in temples and circus games were held in Claudia's honor while a shrine and a priest were dedicated to her shortly afterward.
