Magia Polla (known also as Maia,[1] fl.
I century BC) was an ancient Roman woman, mother of the poet Virgilius.
[2][3][4][5] 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.
[4][11][12][13] After her husband's death, Magia remarried with Lucius Scoedius and had another son, Proculus.
