Notes edit
- ^ The woman, born Claudia was originally a patrician (aristocrat), but was adopted by a plebian (commoner) father, after which she and her brother Publius Claudius Pulcher changed the spelling of their nomen (clan name) to Clodia and Clodius respectivly to reflect their new status. Her nickname Quadrantaria likely derived from the fact that she was the fourth daughter of her birth father, as this was the common naming scheme for daughters in Rome at the time. She and her sisters were named Claudia Prima, Claudia Secunda, Claudia Tertia, Claudia Quarta and Claudia Quinta, meaning that Quadrantaria (from quadron "a quarter") was a nickname for Quarta.[9][10][11]
