El epitafio romano Laudatio Turiae con el eulogio de un esposo a su mujer. Por el extenso elogio a sus virtudes y por los detalles que comparte, tradicionalmente se ha identificado con Curia (60-5 a.C.), esposa de Quinto Lucrecio Vespilón, con quien estuvo casada cuatro décadas. Salvó a su esposo durante el Segundo Triunvirato ocultándolo de todos. #antiguaroma #ancientrome
