SENTIA (AMÆSIA),

Pleaded her own cause with great force, in a large assembly of the people, before Lucius Titius, the proctor; and established her innocence, by the correctness and ability of her defence. She obtained the appellation of Androgyne, or a manly woman, as carrying a strong mind under a gentle appearance.
