The Roman General Coriolanus was exiled from Rome in 491 BC. and went to head the forces of the Volsci, a tribe whom he had previously been at war with. His mother Veturia and his wife, Volumnia, came with his children (two boys) to beg him to call of his attack on Rome. He called off his attack, but was later executed by the Volsci.
