Guillaume Guillon-Lethière (French, 1760-1832) The Death of Virginia, ca.1800

This painting illustrates a story from the ancient Roman historian Livy, a frequently read source for history in the Renaissance. Virginia was killed by her father, Virginius, in order to save her from a life of slavery. Virginius stabbed his daughter rather than allow her to be seized by the lustful and wicked judge, Appius Claudius.

Roman Calendar - 3 June, Festival of Bellona

Roman goddess of war, whose temple was erected on the 3rd of June in 296 BCE by consul Appius Claudius. During Republican era the temple, that located outside Servian wall, was  an especially important place in Roman politics. Victorious generals waiting for their triumph came here, foreign envoys who were not allowed within pomerium were received here by the Senate and wars against foreign nations were declared here. Part of this area was regarded as a foreign territory and a special “column bellica” stood there. During the declaration ceremony a spear was hurled towards this column. And as we can see nowadays there is not much left of the temple...just a little rubble and walls near the columns of temple of Apollo.
