In it she describes in pastoral terms well suited to the hexameter the setting of the &quot;eternal home&quot; (i.e. the tomb) she built for him (<em>hanc Iuliano domum flendo fabricavi perennem</em>): &quot;See how Gemellina, along with her children, out of respect for her worthy husband built a resting place for him amidst the vines and shrubbery and the lush grass, where deep shade from an overhanging branch supplies the greenery&quot; (<em>ecce Gemellina pietate ducta marito</em> / <em>struxindolens digno sedem cum liberis una</em> / <em>inter pampinea virgulta et gramina laeta</em> / <em>umbra super rami virides ubi densa ministrat</em>).</p> <h2 id="maps">Maps</h2> <!-- ## Plans --> <!-- ## Images --> <h2 id="dates">Dates</h2> <p>Later second century/third century</p> <h2 id="excavation-dates">Excavation Dates</h2> <p>1954</p> <h2 id="bibliography">Bibliography</h2> <ul> <li><em>AE</em> 1957, 334.</li> </ul> <h2 id="places">Places</h2> <ul> <li> <a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/test-drafts/search/?q=Dacia%20%28province%29">Dacia (province)</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/981518" title="Pleiades gazetteer of ancient places">Pleiades: 981518</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/test-drafts/search/?q=Romula%20%28deserted%20settlement%29">Romula (deserted settlement)</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://vocab.getty.edu/page/tgn/8712318" title="Thesaurus of Geographic Names (Getty)">TGN: 8712318</a> </li> </ul>
