Flavia Pulchra was a villainess from "When in Rome", case #3 of Criminal Case: Travel in Time, the 6th season of the crime solving game Criminal Case (release date March 28, 2019). She was a Roman noblewoman known for speaking in support of Mark Antony, who was going against Octavian for emperor.
The case began with the player and Jack Archer finding Flavia dead in Octavian's Circus Maximus viewing box, having been strangled to death. The investigation revealed that Flavia was also the mother of 17-year-old Vestal priestess Claudia Pulchra and was known for holding numerous orgies at her villa. But Claudia and Flavia's friend and fellow noblewoman Balbina revealed that in life, Flavia was a callous and self-centered woman, forcing Claudia to become a priestess against her will and habitually mocking Balbina and making a crude mosaic in her friend's likeness. Flavia was also revealed to have had an intense romantic attraction to slave/chariot racer Scorpius, using handcuffs on him at one of her orgies and breaking his arm as she became intimate with him; all while ignoring Scorpius's attempts to make her stop.
It was after Orlando Ordelaffi examined Flavia's diary that a villainous secret of Flavia's was revealed: she was using her parties as a means of learning secrets about others to blackmail them, with her diary revealing that the evil Flavia was blackmailing Brutus with her knowledge of him being a closeted homosexual. Ultimately, though, Flavia's killer was revealed to be Claudia, who had been convinced to do so by Octavian due to wanting to stop her from helping Mark Antony be elected emperor. Already resentful over her mother forcing her to become a priestess, Claudia (convinced by Octavian that he sympathized with her) attacked and killed her villainous mother by strangling her with a rope.
