Albia Terentia Othonis mater. IIX. Uxoris sedem implevi moestissima mater Tam nato tristis, quam dulci laeta marito. Huius spectavi testis probitatis honores Mansurum decus erecti sibi marmoris; atque hunc Prosper laudatis tandem tulit exitus actis. Coniugis ille expers (sed spem dilecta fovebat Messallina) parum felici claruit ausu, Dum petit imperium caussam sibi mortis acerbae. Aegidius Sadeler S.C.M. sculp. Marcus Sadeler excudit. Lettering in four elegiac couplets below the portrait

Notes

One print in a set of twelve pairs of prints of Roman emperors and empresses
