Verginia, or Virginia (c. 465 BC449 BC), was the subject of an ancient Roman story recounted in Roman historian Livy's text Ab Urbe Condita. Upon a threat to her virtue, Verginia was killed by her father Verginius. Livy directly links Verginia's death to the overthrow of the decemviri and the re-establishment of the Roman Republic.
