Princess Zoe, Duchess of Haenna, (Aurelia Anicia Zoe Theodora Eusebia Iustina; b. 29 April 1940) is the youngest child of Constantine XIX Anicius and Christina of Rahdenburg, and the only surviving sibling of Diana I Anicia.

Zoe spent much of her childhood with her great-grandmother, and sister. Her upbringing changed dramatically after the murder of her father and mother during and after the April 12 coup. Zoe's sister became Latin Empress, with Zoe as heir presumptive. During the Social War, Zoe remained at the Palatium Augusti, in Castellum ab Alba, until she was sent to Adrianople, despite suggestions to evacuate Zoe and her sister to Belfras.

During the war, Zoe first met her future husband, Constantine Tarpeius. They eventually married in 1960, despite desires for Zoe to marry a member of foreign nobility. The couple had five children, all daughters: Fausta, Maria, Rhea, Alexandra, and Silvia. Zoe's daughter Maria would eventually become Latium's first female Praeses Senatus in 2014.
