## Resource

The second king of Rome may be dead, but his story isn't quite. Today, we scrape together the crumbs of evidence our primary and secondary sources give us concerning Egeria. Is she a nymph? A goddess? Is she Numa's second wife or his lover? And what's the deal with her maybe turning into a spring? Let the defence and prosecution assemble! Time period: 716- 627 BCE Relevant individuals: Numa Pompilius, Egeria Sources for this episode: TBA
