Her name was Pompeia, He divorced Pompeia about this time, under very extraordinary circumstances.

Among the other strange religious ceremonies and celebrations which were observed in those days, was one called the celebration of the mysteries of the Good Goddess.

This celebration was held by females alone, every thing masculine being most carefully excluded.

Even the pictures of men, if there were any upon the walls of the house where the assembly was held, were covered.
