The
legend has it that the Sibilla was a thousand year old fortune-teller who
arrived in Cuma where she prophesied in the vicinity of the temple of Apollo.
Virgil, following an antique tradition, held her responsible for the prediction
regarding the future of Rome. According to local belief, the Sibilla even
announced the actual birth of Christ.
