Two things:'
1. Deleted ":Drusus" because it's not her patronym; it's Marcus' patronymic name.
2. There were no surnames during the ages of the Roman Republic or the Roman Empire.

I gather there's a lack of certainty since "osäker" translated from Swedish to English is "uncertain." The female patronymic Roman transition changes endings from -ius to -ia -- Scipionis --> Scipionia.
