From Tunis Sheep.

Got this wool on Thursday, from friends of Zac’s family; started spinning it immediately.
“pergunt inde Collatiam, ubi Lucretiam…nocte sera deditam lanae inter lucubrantes ancillas in medio aedium sedentem inveniunt.”
They then continued to Collatia, where they found Lucretia…spinning wool, sitting in the middle of the house, among her maidens, working by lamplight, late in the night.
Livy, The History of Rome, Book I.57
