Calpurnia


Calpurnia was the third and last wife of Julius Caesar. She had a dream the night before his fateful meeting that a statue of him fell. The sky started raining blood, and the Romans washed their hands in it. She begged him not to go, but he went anyway. After he had died, she "swallowed fire" so that she could kill herself. They never had any children. She obviously loved her husband very much, but even that didn't save him.
