	Cloelia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cloelia is a figure from the early history of the city of Rome.
		According to Roman tradition, Cloelia was one of the young Roman girls given as hostages to Lars Porsenna, king of the Etruscan town of Chiusi.
		Cloelia returned and stayed with the camp, selecting other hostages to be returned home and requesting that the male children who were also held hostage be released to their families.

	The Compass newspaper -- Saint of the Day
		Cloelia was born in Budrie, near Bologna, in northern Italy, to Joseph and Hyacinthia (Nanetti) Barbieri, a pious couple of modest means.
		Gaetano Guidi, encouraged Cloelia and her friend, Teodora Baraldi, to pray for and serve the poor by educating poor girls in the parish.
		Cloelia was well-known for her devotion to Christ in the Eucharist, her contemplative prayer, humility, simplicity, bodily mortifications and her ability to read people's hearts.

		[turrinus.] CLOE'LIA, a Roman virgin, who was one of the hostages given to Porsena with other maidens and boys, is said to have escaped from the Etruscan camp, and to have swum across the Tiber to Rome.
		She was sent back by the Romans to Porsena, who was so struck with her gallant deed, that he not only set her at liberty, but allowed her to take -with her a part of the hostages: she chose those who were under age, as they were most exposed to ill-treatment.
		CLOELIA or CLUI'LIA GENS, patrician, of Alban origin, was one of the gentes minores, and was said to have derived its name from Clolius, a companion of Aeneas.

		Rather than consider that the treaty had been broken, he promised that Cloelia would be safe in his camp if she were returned, and he further promised that he would return her unharmed to her parents when his troops were safely out of Roman territory.
		Cloelia returned and remained at Porsenna's camp and was even allowed to select other hostages to be returned to Rome.
		Upon the achievement of peace, the Romans celebrated Cloelia's courage with a statue on the Via Sacra depicting a young maiden astride a horse.

	Cloelia and Her Companions Escaping from the Etruscans by WOUTERS, Frans
		Cloelia was one of the ten daughters, who, with ten sons, of patrician Roman families, were given as hostages to Lars Porsena, the Etruscan king of Clusium, as a token of good faith following the conclusion of a treaty between Rome and the Etruscans.
		Cloelia escaped to Rome by re-crossing the Tiber on horseback, persuading her female companions to swim after her.
		The girls were sent back by the Romans but Porsena, in admiration of Cloelia's courage, presented her with a horse and restored her freedom together with that of her companions.

		In his account of the legendary events of the period, Livy places the episode of Cloelia, a story of the physical prowess and daring of an adolescent, near the spectacular acts of bravery and self-sacrifice of Mucius Scaevola and Horatius at the bridge.
		When the king found out, he was furious at first and sent emissaries to Rome to ask that Cloelia be given back; he did not care about the other girls.
		But his anger turned to admiration and he said that her undertaking had been greater than that of a Cocles or a Mucius, and gave it to understand that, although he would consider the non-restoration of the hostage equivalent to breaking the treaty, he would nonetheless return her unharmed.

	Cheryl Walker, Hostages in Republican Rome - Appendix II.A: The Legend of Cloelia [263-270]
		That the so-called Cloelia statue belonged to the fourth century and thus could not possibly have been a contemporary monument to Cloelia’s exploit seems unarguable; indeed, it is unlikely to have had any such initial intention.
		In general, however, the Cloelia legend includes many of the essential elements of a historical exaction: 1) the specification of the number, age, sex, and social status of the hostages; 2) the freedom of movement which their escape assumes; 3) the anger at the escape which could easily have caused another outbreak of the war.
		If one accepts that Cloelia was a hostage for the truce with Porsenna and fled his custody, it is difficult to explain how her exploit was anything but disgraceful.

		Cloelia, the story goes, was given as a hostage to Porsenna; she escaped his camp on the Janiculum, swam the Tiber, and so returned safely to Rome.
		Her deed was commemorated in a narrative (given in numerous Augustan and later literary sources) and by an equestrian statue on the Velia, which did exist in the first few centuries A.D. (Papi, LTUR 2.226).
		As an exemplum simultaneously canonical and anomalous, she poses a gender puzzle that spurs attempted resolutions in light of imperial standards of gendered behavior, while also providing a unique behavioral canon with which imperial authors can intervene in other urgent contestations over social value.

		The maiden Cloelia, one of the hostages, deceived the guards and, leading a band of female hostages, swam across the Tiber amid a hail of enemy spears, since the Etruscan camp was located not far from from the bank of the Tiber.
		He declared that, if this hostage were not surrendered to him, he would regard the treaty as broken, but once she was surrendered, he would return her to her family safe and sound.
		Honor prevailed on both sides: the Romans sent her back as a pledge of peace according to the terms of the treaty, and in the house of the Etruscan king, Cloelia's virtue was not only safe but also honored.

		THE REPUBLICAN PARADIGM: HEROINES OF EARLY ROME discusses the story of Cloelia and Livy's comment "an act of courage - new in a woman".
		Its possible that this was added to the story later, once people were familiar with the equestrian statue and saw it as a depiction of events rather than a formalized honor.
		The Oxford Classical Dictionary adds that "Critics who dismiss the story as legend believe that the statue was dedicated to a goddess (Venus Equestris) and that later Romans wrongly associated it with Cloelia".
