Cornelia, quoted by Valerius Maximus, bk. 4, 4, incipit, relating an anecdote which has often been cited. A Campanian lady, who was at the time on a visit to her, having displayed to Cornelia some very beautiful ornaments which she possessed, desired the latter, in return, to exhibit her own. The Roman mother purposely detained her in conversation until her children returned from school, when, pointing to them, she said this famous locution: also commonly translated as "Here are my jewels."
