  Caecina Paetus was condemned to death on a charge of disloyalty by the emperor Claudius in 42 AD. He chose to commit suicide rather than face the emperor's wrath. His wife Arria stabbed herself first in order to give him the courage to do t his and handed him the dagger saying "Non dolet, Paete!" ("It doesn't hurt, Paetus"). -----------------------------
