Reading notes
- Ad Atticum 14.8 §1 Junia delivered a letter
Junia Tertia, half-sister of Brutus and wife of Cassius, the most active of the conspirators' womenfolk in carrying their correspondence (possibly her sister Junia Secunda, wife of Lepidus, is meant).
- Ad Atticum 14.20 §2 I am sorry Tertulla has miscarried
Tertulla is Iunia Tertia, half-sister of Brutus and wife of Cassius; the following joke ("Cassii to plant as much as Bruti") puns grimly on her miscarriage and the wish for more men like the tyrannicides.
- Ad M. Brutum 2.3 §3 my sister Tertia and to my mother
Tertia (Junia Tertia or Tertulla) was Cassius's wife and Brutus's half-sister; "my mother" is Servilia, who dominated the Roman Republican women's network and could control the release of politically sensitive news.
