Cossutia

the first wife of C. Julius Caesar, belonged to an equestrian family, and was very rich. She was betrothed to Caesar by his parents, while he was very young, but was divorced by him in his seventeenth year, that he might marry Cornelia, the daughter of Cinna. (Suet. Jul. 1.)

of equestrian rank (Suet. Jul. 1), never attained to any importance. It is conjectured by some from Cicero's mention of the Cossutianae tabulae, near Caesena, in Gallia Cisalpina (ad Fam. 16.27), that the Cossutii came originally from that place. On coins of this gens we find the cognomens Maridianus and Sabula, but none occur in history.
