Index -- Chronological Chart -- Notes -- Acknowledgments -- Art Credits -- IndexBorn to an illustrious Roman family in 125 BCE, Regilla was married at the age of fifteen to Herodes, a wealthy Greek. Twenty years later--and eight months pregnant with her sixth child--Regilla died under mysterious circumstances, after a blow to the abdomen delivered by Herodes's freedman. Though Herodes was charged, he was acquitted. Pomeroy's investigation suggests that despite Herodes's erection of numerous monuments to his deceased wife, he was in fact guilty of the crime.UxoricideGreeceAthensHistoryCase studiesWife abuseGreeceAthensHistoryCase studiesTrials (Murder)RomeHistoryCase studiesUpper class womenGreeceAthensBiographyUpper class womenRomeBiographyCivilization, Greco-RomanUxoricideHistoryWife abuseHistoryTrials (Murder)HistoryUpper class womenUpper class womenCivilization, Greco-Roman.364.152/3092NH 8550rvkPomeroy Sarah B186554MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820234203321The murder of Regilla4046109UNINA
