Claudia Augusta was the only daughter of the Roman Emperor Nero by his second wife Poppaea Sabina. She was born in Antium on 21 January 64 AD.
Nero honored Claudia and her mother with the name Augusta. Gold statues were placed in temples and circus games were held in Claudia's honor. She died 4 months after her birth of natural causes. Nero and Poppaea Sabina mourned her death and Claudia was declared a goddess. A shrine and a priest were dedicated to her shortly afterward.
