- Short Description
- "In Roman mythology, Tarpeia (/tɑːrˈpiːə/), daughter of the Roman commander Spurius Tarpeius, was a Vestal virgin who betrayed the city of Rome to the Sabines at the time of their women's abduction for what she thought would be a reward of jewelry. She was instead crushed to death and her body cast from the southern cliff of Rome's Capitoline Hill, thereafter called after her the Tarpeian Rock (Rupes Tarpeia)." - (en.wikipedia.org 12.08.2021)
