Pompeia Iulii Caes. uxor. I. Illa ego sum patris, sum coniugis obses amoris Nata, marita eadem, sumque furoris obex. Sed quid nostra virum seu iam retinere parentem Vincla valent, regni ius ubi quisque petit. Qualis amicitiam patris te Caesar adegit Velle amor et nexu sanguinis esse ratam Ut non omne ferus fas non abrumpere posses Et quae prima loco, prima malisque forem. 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
