Fulvia, a Roman lady, born about 80, died about 40 B. C. She was married successively to Clodius, Curio, and Mark Antony, and had part in arranging the fearful proscription of the second triumvirate. When the head of Cicero was brought to her, she pierced the tongue with her needle. To withdraw Antony from Egypt, where the charms of Cleopatra detained him, and to take revenge upon Octa-vius, who had affronted her by repudiating his wife, her daughter Clodia, she excited her brother-in-law Lucius Antonius to make war upon Octavius. The war was unsuccessful, and Fulvia escaped to Greece, was reproached by Antony, who met her at Athens, and died of shame and regret at Sicyon.
