Proba Faltonia

or Falconia. A Roman lady who, in the fourth century A.D., put together a cento on the creation of the world, composed of verses gathered from Vergil. The poem, which is still extant, is printed in Migne's Patrologia, xix. pp. 803-817. (See cento.) She also wrote an account of the war of Constantine against Magnentius, as is stated in the subscriptio to a MS. of the tenth century.
