Though, with that adorable wind blown back hairstyle, thin supple neck and as she was a most fertile Mertyl (having at least 5 children) was probably a mynx in the sack, she&#039;s certainly a godess to me. I pretty much stole her at Sunday&#039;s Savoca auction and already have her in hand:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1122554[/ATTACH]</p><p>FULVIA, first wife of Mark Antony, died 40 BC. AR Quinarius (12 mm, 1.65 gm), yr. 41 (42 BC). Bust of winged Victory with likeness of Fulvia / Lion walking. RSC.3. Cr.489/6</p><p><br /></p><p>Fulvia married 3 prominent Roman statesmen. Most believe she had a hand in all their political affairs. Led the fortification of a town under siege. Saved her family, well her husband&#039;s family anyway. She would save the life of Marc&#039;s brother before his political misjudgments would cost him his life. Before the drunkard Antonius would leave her for some floozy from the south side...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1122577[/ATTACH]</p><p>Marc Antony &amp; Octavian</p><p>AR Quinarius.

Cicero spoke out against her and, then, hubby Marc Antony. Even spitting so much shade that he stated in one of his major speeches that Marc just married her for her money!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1122582[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>She had the last laugh though. By sticking pins into his severed head&#039;s tongue.

No Roman monument to her. Man, we&#039;re not even sure when she was born. She was s model citizen, mother, wife and woman.
