Pomponia (cicada)
''Pomponia'' is a genus of cicadas from Asia. A group of species previously placed in ''Pomponia'', containing the largest cicada species found on earth, have recently been moved to ''Megapomponia''. However, the remaining species still form a very heterogeneous group and Duffels and Hayashi (2006) mentioned that several species should probably be transferred to genera like '' Terpnosia'' and '' Leptosemia''. Species These 48 species belong to the genus ''Pomponia'': * '' Pomponia adusta'' ( Walker, 1850) * '' Pomponia backanensis'' Thai and Yang, 2009 * '' Pomponia brevialata'' Lee & Pham, 2015 * '' Pomponia brevicaudata'' Lee, 2013 * '' Pomponia bullata'' Schmidt, E., 1924 * '' Pomponia bulu'' Zaidi & Azman, 2000 * '' Pomponia cinctimanus'' ( Walker, 1850) * '' Pomponia cyanea'' Fraser, 1948 * '' Pomponia daklakensis'' Sanborn, 2009 * '' Pomponia decem'' ( Walker, 1857) * '' Pomponia dolosa'' Boulard, 2001 * '' Pomponia folei'' Fraser, 1948 * '' Pomponia fugax'' Boulard, 20 ...

Pomponia Graecina
Pomponia Graecina (d. 83 AD) was a noble Roman woman of the 1st century who was related to the Julio-Claudian dynasty. She was the wife of Aulus Plautius, the general who led the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 AD, and was renowned as one of the few people who dared to publicly mourn the death of a kinswoman (Julia Livia, granddaughter of emperor Tiberius) killed by the Imperial family. It has been speculated that she was an early Christian. She is identified by some as Lucina or Lucy, a saint honoured by the Roman Catholic Church. Family background Pomponia's background is not certain, but can be reconstructed as follows. Her father was probably Gaius Pomponius Graecinus, who was suffect consul in 16 AD and a correspondent of Ovid. Graecinus' wife was Asinia, sister of Gaius Asinius Pollio, and through her Pomponia was related to the Imperial family. Asinia's father, Gaius Asinius Gallus, was consul in 8 BC, and her mother Vipsania, was the daughter of the general and politician ...
