Marcia Furnilla (1st century CE) was born into a noble and distinguished family, claiming descent from Roman King Ancus Marcius. Furnilla was Titus' second and last wife, marrying him in 63 CE. Furnilla was described as a 'very well-connected' woman, and bore Titus a daughter in 64 CE, Julia Flavia. Like Titus' first marriage, his time with Furnilla was short, as Furnilla's family was connected to the opponents of Nero after the failure of the Pisonian conspiracy in 65 CE. Titus divorced her, not wanting to be connected with any of the potential plotters, taking their daughter with him.
