Milonia Caesonia (d. 41 ce)
Roman noblewoman. Murdered in 41 ce; fourth wife of Caligula (12–41), Roman emperor (r. 37–41); children: (Julia) Drusilla (c. 37–c. 41 ce).
Milonia Caesonia was the fourth wife of the Roman emperor Caligula. In 41 ce, a successful conspiracy was carried out by a tribune of the Praetorian Guard who held both personal and public grievances against Caligula. Hatred for Caligula was so great, in fact, that after he had been assassinated, Milonia Caesonia was killed as well, and their daughter Drusilla 's "brains were dashed out against a wall."
