CAMILLA: Virgil's Ancient Roman Amazon Warrior
Camilla is the roman version of Amazonian queen, Penthesilea. There, I said it. She's a badass don't get me wrong, but it seems much more likely that Virgil only included her in "The Aeneid" because someone told him to ... considering he literally writes her in ONLY TO KILL HER 400 LINES LATER!? Whatever.

A Bit About Us -
Trust us, the ancient world isn’t as boring as you may think. In this series, we're EXCLUSIVELY focusing on some badass ladies from the ancient world to bring their accomplishments and their stories into light. Despite what the classroom may teach you, the ancient authors gave each and every one of these women the time of day - it's actually the modern scholars who pushed their studies to the side, outcasting women from the educational system. But not today, Satan!
