		One morning, as Virginia, attended by her nurse, was on her way to her school, which was in one of the booths round the forum, M. Claudius, a client of Appius, laid hold of the damsel and claimed her as his slave.
		Appius hastened to give sentence, by which he consigned the maiden to the party who claimed her as his slave, until a judge should decide the matter.
		Thereupon Appius, who had brought with him to the forum a large body of armed patricians and their clients, ordered his lictors to disperse the mob.

		Ambition of individuals (especially Appius Claudius), jealousy of classes or factions (patricians and plebeians are always at each others' throats), and the hostility of outsiders (Sabines, Volscians and Aequians attack Rome yearly): these are the major problems facing the newly independent Roman people in the mid-5th century BC after the expulsion of the kings.
		Appius Claudius is the embodiment of immoderatio at its worst: his ambition destroys his former dignity, leads him to a tyrannical oppression of others, and results in his own disgrace and exile.
		Appius' problem is that he is afraid of being a nobody: without the role of leader in the state, he has no identity, hence he is unwilling to relinquish his power when his lawful term of office is up.

		He was claimed to have been murdered or committed suicide as a consequence of his lust for Verginia, but the historical facts are scanty and dubious.
		This Appius Claudius should not be confused with Appius Claudius Caecus (PW 91), a censor in 312 BC, or Appius Claudius Caudex (PW 102), a consul in 264 BC.

		Appius Claudius was inflamed with a criminal passion towards a young woman of plebeian rank.
		Appius now ordered Icilius to be called before him; then, on his refusing to attend, to be seized: at last when the beadles were not suffered to come near him, he himself, with a band of young patricians, pushing through the crowd, ordered him to be taken into confinement.
		Appius then mounted the tribunal, whither he was followed by Horatius and Valerius; to these the assembly paid attention, but drowned the decemvir's voice with noise.

		For Appius, in the course of his journey, had sent me two or three rather querulous letters, because I rescinded some of his decisions.
		Thus Appius, having treated the province on the system of depletion, bleeding, and removing everything he could, and having handed it over to me in the last state of exhaustion, he cannot bear seeing it treated by me on the nutritive system.
		Some of Appius’ friends put a ridiculous construction on this, holding that I wish for a good reputation to set off his bad one, and act rightly, not for the sake of my own credit, but in order to cast a reflexion upon him.

		Appius, burning with desire, attempted to seduce by bribes and promises this young woman, now grown up, and of distinguished beauty; and when he perceived that all the avenues of his lust were barred by modesty, he turned his thoughts to cruel and tyrannical violence.
		Appius first ordered Icilius to be summoned before him, then, when he refused to come, to be seized: finally, when the officers were not allowed an opportunity of approaching him, he himself, proceeding through the crowd with a body of young patricians, ordered him to be led away to prison.
		When Verginius had appointed a day for Appius to take his trial, and Appius had come down to the forum, accompanied by a band of young patricians, the recollection of his most profligate exercise of power was instantly revived in the minds of all, as soon as they beheld the man himself and his satellites.

	Decemviri (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In 452 BC the plebeians and patricians of Rome agreed to the appointment of a commission of ten men to write up a code of law defining the principles of Roman administration; during the decemviri's term in office, all other magistracies would be suspended, and their decisions were not subject to appeal.
		Their administration of justice was exemplary and they submitted to the Comitia Centuriata a code of laws in ten headings, which was passed.
		Appius Claudius is said to have made an unjust decision which would have forced a young woman named Verginia into prostitution, prompting her father to kill her, and this travesty caused an uprising against the Decemvirate; the decemviri resigned their offices in 449 BC, and the ordinary magistrates (magistratus ordinarii) were re-instituted.

		But Appius could not accomplish this winning of the countryside over to himself, the countryside and Rome being one and the same thing, and he did not know how to do what he might have done; so that he was ruined at the outset.

		This allowed Verginia to be taken from her home and placed as a servant in another, where, Lucius knew, Appius would have his way with her.
		So, Lucius asked the judge for a private minute with Verginia, and, when they were alone, he promptly pulled out a knife and -- without asking her how she felt about the matter -- stabbed his daughter to death.
