Eiusdem ut nominis ita amoris quoque M. Plautius: nam cum imperio senatus classem sociorum sexaginta navium in Asiam reduceret Tarentumque appulisset atque ibi uxor eius Orestilla, quae illuc eum prosecuta fuerat, morbo pressa decessisset, funerata ea et in rogum imposita inter officium unguendi et osculandi stricto ferro incubuit.
The same name, the same love. M. Plautius was bringing a fleet of allies, sixty ships, back to Asia by command of the senate and put in at Tarentum. There his wife Orestilla, who had followed him so far, fell sick and died. At her funeral, when she was placed on the pyre and during the ceremony of anointing and kissing, he fell on his drawn sword.
