Cornelia

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Cornelia [1]

The daughter of Scipio Africanus and the mother of the Gracchi ( q. v .), the Roman matron who, when challenged by a rival lady to outshine her in wealth of gems, proudly led forth her sons saying, "These are my jewels"; true to this sentiment, it was as the mother of the Gracchi she wished to be remembered, and is remembered, in the annals of Rome.
