Biography
Magia Polla was the daughter of Magius, a rich merchant of the Magia gens,[6][7][8] and perhaps had Celtic origins on her mother's side.[9]
She married Virgilius Maro Ficulus, a potter who was initially employed by her father, but who later gained some wealth as a beekeeper and small landowner.[10]
They had three sons:[11] Silus, Flaccus[11] and Virgilius (70 BC - 19 BC), who became one of the greatest Roman poets.[4][11][12][13]
After her husband's death, Magia remarried and had another son, Proculus.[14]
