Virginia, in Roman legend, was the
daughter of the centurion Virginius. Her father killed her
to save her from the unwanted lust of Appius Claudius
Crassus, a decemvir ( one of ten men appointed to codify
Roman law). Legend says that the Roman citizens were so
outraged at the death of such a beautiful, innocent young
woman that a revolt ensued in which Crassus was killed and
which ultimately led to the fall of the decemvirs
