Note 70 — Chapter I · THE EARLIEST CONSTITUTION OF ROME

Cf. the story of Verginia in Liv. x. 23 (296 B.C.) “Verginiam Auli filiam patriciam plebeio nuptam L. Volumnio consuli matronae, quod e patribus enupsisset, sacris arcuerant.” She then founds an altar to “Pudicitia plebeia,” in imitation of that to “Pudicitia patricia.”
