Postu'mia

2. The wife of Ser. Sulpicius, was a busy intriguing woman, and did not bear a good character. She is said to have been one of the mistresses of Julius Caesar (Suet. Jul. 50), and Cicero suspected that it was her charms which drew his legatus Ponptinus from Cilicia to Rome. (Cic. Att. 5.21.9.) Her name frequently occurs in Cicero's correspondence at the time of the civil wars (ad Fam. 4.2, ad Att. 10.3. A, 10.14, 12.11, &c.).

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
