Chiomaca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chiomaca was a Gaul princess who was involved in the war between the Romans and the Galatians in 186 BC. When the call for retreat was given, she refused to leave the battlefield and instead continued to fight. She was captured and raped by a centurion, whom she then killed and beheaded. She then delivered the head to her husband.
