"He is risen and gone."

"Laugh if you are wise, girl, laugh." [Ride si sapis, o puella, ride.]
Martial, Epigrams, Book II, Epigram XLI. To Maximina.

"Crispa, however, practises them all with one body .... lest she should die in vain and leave anything untried."
[Crispa tamen cunctas exercet corpore in uno: deglubit, fellat, molitur per utramque cavernam,
ne quid inexpertum frustra moritura relinquat.]
Ausonius, Epigram LXXIX, Subscriptum Picturae Mulieris Impudicae (Portrait of a lewd woman).

"Memories have their own specific grammar, and can (must) be analysed as narratives; but they also have functions,
and can (must) also be analysed in a functionalist manner, as guides, whether uniform or contradictory, to social identity."
James Fentress & Chris Wickham, Social Memory: New Perspectives on the Past, Harper & Row, 1992, p. 88.

Quem Quaeritis? Memory & identity go together, Theodora concentrates on who wants whom to remember what when and why.

"She [Theodora] picked up more than five hundred harlots in the Forum, who earned a miserable living by selling themselves
there for three obols, and sent them to the opposite mainland, where they were locked up in the monastery called Repentance
to force them to reform their way of life. Some of them, however, threw themselves from the parapets at night and thus freed
themselves from an undesired salvation."
Procopius of Caesarea, The Secret History, Chapter 17 How she saved five hundred harlots from a life of sin. 

"The name of Theodora was introduced, with equal honor, in all the pious and charitable foundations of Justinian; and the most
benevolent institution of his reign may be ascribed to the sympathy of the empress for her less fortunate sisters, who had been
seduced or compelled to embrace the trade of prostitution. A palace on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus, was converted into a
stately and spacious monastery, and a liberal maintenance was assigned to five hundred women who had been collected from
the streets and brothels of Constantinople. In this safe and holy retreat they were devoted to perpetual confinement; and the
despair of some, who threw themselves headlong into the sea, was lost in the gratitude of the penitents."
Edward Gibbons, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Chapter 40, 1776 [Capitalis Luxus].

"Her numberless charges." [Innumerosque vehes.]
Ovid, in De dubiis nominibus, Gramm. Lat. 5, 592, 27 Keil.

Theodora leaves nighttime visit open to Blackwall & provides her strong incentive that should fix similar resolution in Iron Bull.
