Scribonia may have also been the mother to Publius Cornelius Scipio, consul in 16 BC. They had a daughter Cornelia Scipio who married the censor Lucius Aemilius Paullus. Her second husband perhaps was Publius Cornelius Scipio Salvito, a supporter of Pompey. He may have died young and ignored by historians. Her first husband is unknown, although it had been suggested that he was Gnaeus Cornelius Lentulus Marcellinus (consul 56 BC), as there is an inscription that refers to freedmen (post 39 BC) of Scribonia and her son Cornelius Marcellinus, indicating that she had a son from her previous marriage and that he was living with her after she divorced her third husband. According to Suetonius, Scribonia's first two marriages were to former consuls. Her brother of the same name was consul and died in 34 BC. Scribonia was the daughter of a Lucius Scribonius Libo, probably the praetor of that name of 80 BC. She was the mother-in-law of the Emperor Tiberius, great-grandmother of the Emperor Caligula and Empress Agrippina the Younger, grandmother-in-law of the Emperor Claudius, and great-great grandmother of the Emperor Nero.

The Volsci spoke an Osco-Umbrian language. In the 330s, when the Latin towns revolted agains Rome, the Volsci supported the rebels, but after their final defeat, they vanish from history. In the second half of this century, they would go on to attack the mountain people beyond the Volsci: the Samnites. In the end, Rome restored control over Latiun in the first half of the fourth century. The war for Tarracina, also called Anxur, forced the Romans to start paying their soldiers. The fights lasted for all of the fifth century. One of the Volscian generals was, according to the tradition, a Roman renegade named Coriolanus. The Hernici, living between the two allies, allied themselves to the Romans and Latins. In the course of the fifth century, there were several conflicts between this Latin League and the Volsci, who often cooperated with the Aequi. Relief of an Amazon from the temple of Mater Matuta in Satricum Material culture did not change substantially the second phase of the Temple of Mater Matuta in Satricum offers an idea of Volscian art and architecture. Probably, Volscian chieftains seized control in towns that had once been governed by Latin leaders. Among the towns they added to their himeland in the Liris valley, were Velitrae, the port of Antium, Satricum (formerly Pometia), Privernum, Circeii, Tarracina (another port), Fundi. To defend the region, several colonies were founded: Signia in the east, the port of Circeii in the extreme southeast, Cora halfway between Rome and Circeii, and Pometia on the central plain. It may have been a return to the earlier situation, in which Rome was the main city in Latium. Responding to this crisis, the Latin towns formed the Foedus Cassianum, a confederation of mutual military alliance, led by the Romans. The "Lapis Satricanus", a Roman dedication to Mars mentioning a man who is probably Valerius Publicola, who had fought against the Volsci The Aequi seized political control of eastern Latium, including towns like Praeneste, while the Volsci are often mentioned in southern Latium, on the Pontine Plain. However, after the collapse of the Roman monarchy in the final decade of the sixth century, the Aequi and Volsci started to migrate to the plains. Livy mentions a war between Tarquin the Proud and the Volsci. The powerful kings of Rome (e.g, Tarquin the Proud) were able to keep those tribes away. From north to south, we can discern four people: the Sabines in the valley of the river Tiber, the Aequi, the Hernici in the valley of the Tolerus (or Trerus) River (modern Sacco), and the Volsci, who originally lived in the valley of the Liris. In the hilly interior, this process was a bit slower, but larger political units were created as well, which are often, for lack of anything better, labeled as "tribal". In the coastal area, with access to the sea and easy roads on the plains, this process culminated in the growth of real cities, like Antium, Satricum, archaic Rome, Praeneste, Veii, and Caere. In the course of the Iron Age, the people of Central Italy, who had been living in hilltop settlements, increasingly started to live in larger groups, often consisting of several older settlements. Latium at the beginning of the fifth century the Volsci lived in the south
