CORNELIA (end cent. Bc.)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 167 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORNELIA (end cent. Bc.) , daughter of Scipio Africanus the
Elder
 ,
mother
  of the Gracchi and of Sempronia, the wife of Scipio Africanus the Younger. On the death of her
husband
 , refusing numerous offers of
marriage
 , she devoted herself to the educatioc of her twelve children. She was so devoted to her sons Tiberius and Gaius that it was even asserted that she was concerned in the death of her son-in-law Scipio, who by his achievements had eclipsed the fame of the Gracchi, and was said to have approved of the murder of Tiberius. When asked to show her jewels she presented her sons, and on her death a statue was erected to her memory inscribed,
Cornelia
 , the
mother
  of the Gracchi." After the murder of her second son Gaius she retired 'to
Misenum
 , where she devoted herself. to
Greek
  and Latin literature, and to the society of men of letters. She was a highly educated woman, and her letters were celebrated for their beauty of style. The genuineness of the two fragments of a
letter
  from her to her son Gaius, printed in some editions of Cornelius Nepos, is disputed.
See L. Mercklin, De Corneliae vita (1844), of no
great
  value; J. Sorgel,
Cornelia
 , die Mutter der Gracchen (1868), a short popular sketch.
