Fannia

Vad betyder Fannia?

Fannia is notable as the granddaughter of the well-known Arria Major.

Fannia is recorded in the writings of Pliny the Younger as a woman of fortitude and respectability. As with her grandmother, Fannia is described as a political rebel in her own right. She was married to Helvidius Priscus and followed him twice in to exile, once when he was exiled by Nero for sympathising with two outcasts (Brutus and Cassius), then for the second time when he was exiled by Vespasian for opposing his reign. Eventually, Fannia herself was exiled in 93. AD for instigating the creation and publication of a biographical book about her husband under the rule of Domitian. (Från Wikipedia)
