Terentia Varrones (lived 1st century BC) was the wife of the renowned orator Marcus Tullius Cicero.

Terentia was not the only woman from Rome to inscribe occasional verse on ancient Egyptian monuments.
Here I will only add that Terentia piquantly had the poem commemorating her "small gift" inscribed on the Great Pyramid - one way of associating the poem, and the brother it celebrates, with Horace's own poetic monument, "higher than the royal placement of the pyramids" (Odes 3.30.2).

He adds, “Terentia, who generally was not a woman of a mild temper nor naturally without courage, but an ambitious woman and, as Cicero himself says, more ready to share in his political perplexities than to communicate to him her domestic matters,” reported this to her husband and stimulated him against the conspirators.
Terentia had a will of her own, which may have caused her to resent having to be second, even to her own child.
It is said that at one time Terentia retained L 480 of her daughter’s dowry, and there is a reference to Cicero’s failure to receive the rents from his lands.

The rest of the women were frightened, but the Vestals told Cicero's wife Terentia to go to her husband as quickly as possible and tell him to do what he had decided to do on behalf of his country, because the goddess had sent a light to him to lead him to salvation and glory.
Terentia - who was not meek or fearful by nature, but a particularly ambitious woman, as Cicero himself says, who was inclined to take a share in his political concerns rather than involve him in household affairs[1] - gave him the message and strengthened his determination against the conspirators.
Clodius was acquitted because most of the jurors handed in their opinions in illegible writing, so that they would not endanger themselves with the common people by voting against him, or disgrace themselves with the nobility by letting him off.

Her hair was golden hair in fact, not merely in name; her eyes were an intense, bright blue; her complexion was exquisite, the delicate texture and perfect whiteness of her skin emphasized by the healthful coloring which came and went on her cheeks.
Besides her good looks Terentia had a charming disposition, a pretty unconsciousness of herself and a winning deferentialness towards her elders.
Also she was an interesting child, being amazingly precocious, not as Brinnaria had been, in growth and behavior, for she was a complete child in all respects, but in being what moderns call an infant prodigy.

His former wife Terentia led the procession of mourners walking barefoot, her hair and clothes disheveled, and wailing greatly.

But Terentia, who denied them all, had the most unmistakable defence furnished her by her husband himself, who not long after married a young maiden for the love of her beauty, as Terentia upbraided him; or as Tiro, his emancipated slave, has written, for her riches, to discharge his debts.
For the young woman was very rich, and Cicero had the custody of her estate, being left guardian in trust; and being indebted many myriads of money, he was persuaded by friends and relations to marry her, notwithstanding his disparity of age, and to use her money to satisfy his creditors.

To the organ Terentia took with great enthusiasm, and in performing on it she soon surpassed her teacher.
Brinnaria’s playing on the water-organ was similar to the piano music of a modern girl who has mostly taught herself and who plays largely by ear; Terentia played it as a born genius in our days plays her piano, with impeccable exactitude, inimitable individuality and compelling charm.
Her vogue in no way spoiled Terentia, who played with just as much zest for her co-inmates of the Atrium, or when she was entirely alone amusing herself at the organ.
