He'lvia

1. Daughter of L. Helvius, a Roman eques, who, on her return from Rome to Apulia, B. C. 114, was struck from her horse by lightning, and killed, on the Stellatine plain. The circumstances of her death were sufficiently remarkable to attract the notice of the Haruspices, who predicted from them impending disgrace to the vestal priesthood and to the equestrian order. (Plut. Quaest. Rom. 83; Oros. 5.15; Obseq. de Prod. 97.) For the speedy accomplishment of the prediction see Dio Cass. Fr. 91, 92; Liv. Epit. lxiii.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
