Marcia Furnilla, the second wife of the emperor Titus, was divorced by her husband after the death of their daughter Julia. (
Suet. Tit. 4.) Some commentators propose changing the name of
Furnilla into
Fulvia or
Fulvilla, on the authority of a coin which bears the legend
Φουλβία Σεβαστή.
But the coin is of rather doubtful authority; and even if it be genuine it may refer to Fulvia Plautilla, the wife of Caracalla.
It is very improbable that a coin should be struck in honour of a woman that had been divorced, and that the title of Augusta should be given to her. (Eckhel, vol. vii. p. 364.)
