Description
-
When it was ordered that a temple dedicated to Venus Verticordia be consecrated, it was made a rule that it must be made by the most chaste of Roman women. Among these women was Sulpicia. She was also nominated as the single most chaste Roman woman – a huge honour. Sulpicia is seen sitting in the temple to Venus wearing a yellow gown. She is surrounded by other women who pray and leave offerings.
