Description
-
This illumination depicts a portrait of a noble Roman woman named Verginia. Verginia was born into a noble family, and married a former consul named Lucius Volupinus. Because her husband became a member of the plebeian class when he was no longer a consul, Verginia was cast out of a temple consecrated to Patricia Pudicitia by noble women. Verginia is famous for having created her own temple for the plebeian women called the Plebeia Pudicitia.
