Since their initial mention in 1929, the two painted portrait medallions in Cubiculum 15 of the imperial villa at Boscotrecase have been generally assumed to depict Agrippa, Agrippa Postumus, or another male member of the imperial family. Original photographs of the medallions before restoration suggest that they are in fact portraits of two different women. Proposed here are Julia, the daughter of Augustus, and Livia, his wife, and evidence is presented to support these identifications
