[Verginia Being Cast Out of the Patricia Pudicitia Temple]

Description
-
This illustration depicts Verginia being cast out of a temple dedicated to Patricia Pudicitia due to being married to a plebeian man. She is illustrated being physically pushed out by someone who is standing behind her with their hands on her back. Verginia thought this was unjust as, despite being married to a plebeian, she was a noblewoman herself. In response to being kicked out of the temple, Verginia created her own temple for plebeian women, consecrated to Plebeia Pudicitia. She is depicted in the background of the image in front of the small altar of her new site.
