Cornelia Metella

[1] She appears in numerous literary sources, including an official dedicatory inscription at Pergamon.

After the younger Crassus' death at the Battle of Carrhae, Cornelia became the fifth wife of the significantly older Pompey in 52 BC.

She is the title and main character in Robert Garnier's play Cornélie and its English language adaptation Cornelia by Thomas Kyd.

In the first season of the TV series Rome, broadcast in 2005, Cornelia is portrayed by actress Anna Patrick.

Unlike the historic Cornelia, this portrayal sees her as middle aged, and as having two children probably from her first marriage, not with Pompey.
