In Roman mythology, Ocrisia (or Ocresia) was the mother of Servius Tullius. She was said to have been a slave-woman taken at the fall of Corniculum. After seeing an image of a phallus rising from a hearth, she was made to stand before the fire dressed in a bridal gown by her master King Tarquinius Priscus of Rome, and was mysteriously impregnated and later gave birth to Servius Tullius.
