Daughter of one of the proudest houses of Rome . fell under the spell of the dark, enigmatic Catiline, later there were many men in her life - Julius Caesar . her husband the consul Metellus Celer, and Cicero, the great orator, who poured upon her one of the most vitriolic speeches ever composed by this master of invective" 385p.
