Matrons of Rome Plead with Coriolanus,5th Century BC

Gaius Marcius Coriolanus was a Roman general who is said to have lived in the 5th century BC. He was exiled from Rome, and led troops of Rome's enemy the Volsci to besiege Rome. Coriolanus' mother Veturia and his wife Volumnia and his two sons, together with the matrons of Rome, went out to the Volscian camp and implored Coriolanus to cease his attack on Rome. Coriolanus was overcome by their pleas, and moved the Volscian camp back from the city, ending the siege. Rome honored the service of these women by the erection of a temple dedicated to Fortuna. Plutarch's Lives for Boys and Girls, 1900 (cropped and cleaned).
