Cornificia
Cornificia (c. 85 BCc. 40 BC) was a Roman poet and writer of epigrams of the 1st century BC. ==Life== Cornificia belongs to the last generation of the Roman Republic.〔Stevenson, Jane: ''Women Latin Poets: Language, Gender, and Authority from Antiquity to the Eighteenth Century'', p. 34 (Oxford University Press, May 2005) ISBN 978-0-19-818502-4〕 The daughter of Quintus Cornificius and the sister of the poet, ''praetor'' and ''augur'' Cornificius, Cornificia is known to have married a man called Camerius. Jane Stevenson has suggested that this may be the same Camerius who was a friend of the poet Catullus, mentioned in his poem 55.〔 The fact that Cornificia's brother became both a ''praetor'' and an ''augur'' indicates that the family was of considerable status.〔Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, vol. VI, 1300a〕 A ''praetor'' was a magistrate and/or military commander, while an ''augur'' was a priest whose task was to 'take the auspices', interpreting the will of the gods by studying the activities of birds.
