She was the daughter, possibly the third surviving daughter, of the consul Lucius Aemilius Paullus and the sister of the consul Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus. Family background Aemilia belonged to the patrician gens Aemilia, one of the most famous families of the Roman Republic. Roman women of the Middle Republic customarily bore their father's family name and were sometimes distinguished by their birth order. As with men named ''Quintus'' ("the Fifth") or ''Sextus'' ("the Sixth"), a name such as ''Tertia'' may not always mean a woman had two older sisters. Valerius Maximus gives her name as ''Tertia Aemilia'', "the wife of Scipio Africanus and the mother of Cornelia." Aemilia is not known to have had sisters. Aemilia Tertia's marriage to Scipio Africanus took place no later than 215 BC. They were very happily married, according to Liv ...

Organ Stop
An organ stop is a component of a pipe organ that admits pressurized air (known as ''wind'') to a set of organ pipes. Its name comes from the fact that stops can be used selectively by the organist; each can be "on" (admitting the passage of air to certain pipes), or "off" (''stopping'' the passage of air to certain pipes). The term can also refer to the control that operates this mechanism, commonly called a stop tab, stop knob, or drawknob. On electric or electronic organs that imitate a pipe organ, the same terms are often used, with the exception of the Hammond organ and clonewheel organs, which use the term "Hammond organ#Drawbars, drawbar". The term is also sometimes used as a synonym for register, referring to rank(s) of pipes controlled by a single stop. Registration (organ), Registration is the art of combining stops to produce a certain sound. The phrase "wikt:pull out all the stops, pull out all the stops,” while once only meant to engaging all voices on the organ, ...
