Arria Fadilla probably came from Nemausus (today's Nîmes ), a city at that time in the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis , and belonged to the local aristocracy. She was the daughter of the two-time suffect consul Gnaeus Arrius Antoninus and his wife Boionia Procilla . As an educated and wealthy woman, she married the consul of 89, Titus Aurelius Fulvus , to whom she gave birth to the future emperor Antoninus Pius on September 19, 86. She took the suffect consul of 98, Publius Iulius Lupus , with whom she had a daughter, Iulia Fadilla , to her second husband . She died some time before 138, when a statue was erected on her by a Senate decision . It is mentioned in writing on two large lead pipes from Padua .
