"In about 295, the patrician matronae insulted Virginia by forbidding her access to the ceremony at the shrine of Pudicitia Patricia honouring the female virtue of pudicitia (modesty, or sexual virtue), on account of her having married a plebeian. As a result, she erected an altar in her own house to Plebeia Pudicitia."--Wikipedia.
