Artemide (The Centurion)

Artemide (Gianna Maria Canale) was a villainess in the 1961 Italian film "The Centurion".
Protests break out in Corinth against Roman domination, and in the conflicts, Caius Vinicius (Jacques Sernas), a centurion, is injured.  Hebe (Genevieve Grad), the daughter of the anti-Roman governor, Critolaus (Gianni Santuccio) rescues the centurion.  She sends the centurion to the home of Callicrates (Nando Tamberlani) to recuperate.  Callicrates is a political moderate.
While there, Artemide, the wife of Callicrates falls in love with Caius Vinicus, but he spurns her.  For one, he respects Callicrates, and two, he loves Hebe.  Artemide is extremely jealous of Hebe.
As a result, Artemide has him arrested and imprisoned.  Hebe then agrees to marry the evil Diaeus (John Drew Barrymore) if he will spare the Roman's life.  Caius escapes, and Artemide decides to kill Hebe so that Caius won't marry him.
In a scuffle between the two women, Artemide is knocked down by Hebe's whip.  In the process she impales herself on her own dagger, killing herself.
