Cornelia

You see the sarcophagus of a dignified Roman matron who appears ready to speak to you (Cornelia's actual sarcophagus has not been found, but this is the kind of sarcophagus she might have had). Click activate, and she will talk to you about her life. Like most ancient Roman women, however, she will not be speaking to us in her own voice, because all of her words were written for her by the male poet Propertius (i.e., they are lines from poem 4.11 translated into English), so you may decide you need to find other sources of information about Roman women. When you tire of the platitudes Propertius wrote for Cornelia, click hush to consign her to the silence of the grave.
