Sulpicia (gens)

The gens Sulpicia was one of the most ancient patrician families at Rome, and produced a succession of distinguished men, from the foundation of the Republic to the imperial period. The first member of the gens who obtained the consulship was Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Cornutus, in 500 BC, only nine years after the expulsion of the Tarquins, and the last of the name who appears on the consular Fasti was Sextus Sulpicius Tertullus in AD 158. Although originally patrician, the family also possessed plebeian members, some of whom may have been descended from freedmen of the gens.

Sulpicia

Sulpicia was the name of two Roman women reputed in antiquity as poets.

Sulpicia (wife of Quintus Fulvius Flaccus)

Sulpicia (fl. 113 BC) was the wife of Quintus Fulvius Flaccus, and earned everlasting fame when she was determined to be the most chaste of all the Roman matrons.

The daughter of Servius Sulpicius Paterculus, Sulpicia was one of one hundred Roman matrons who were candidates to dedicate the statue of Venus Verticordia (the changer of hearts), who was believed "to turn the minds of women from vice to virtue." Using a method outlined in the Sibylline Books, ten were drawn by lot, and these examined to determine which was the purest and most virtuous. Judged the most chaste, it fell to Sulpicia to dedicate the statue. The story was so well known in ancient authors that famed Renaissance author Giovanni Boccaccio included it in his book On Famous Women, fifteen hundred years later.

The statue itself predates the temple in which it stood by over a hundred years, and so must originally have been originally dedicated someplace else—perhaps at the Temple of Venus Erycina on the Capitoline or the Temple of Venus Obsequens.

Sulpicia (wife of Lentulus Cruscellio)

Sulpicia (ca. 69 BC – 14 BC) was the wife of Lucius Cornelius Lentulus Cruscellio. Lentulus was the son of Lucius Cornelius Lentulus Crus.
Sulpicia's mother was Tullia ("Julia") Caesaris (ca. 86 BC – 34 BC) and her father was Servius Sulpicius Rufus (ca. 106 BC – 43 BC).
