Racine makes a very humble apology in the preface to the "Britannicus" for having disposed of Junia amongst the Vestals, who, according to Aulus Gellius, he says, "admitted no one below six years of age nor above ten."
Racine apaltasun handiz desenkusatzen da, Britannicus-en hitzaurrean, Junia bestalen sartu izanaz, non, Aulo Gelioren arabera, berak zera baitio: "ez zen inor onartzen ez sei urtez azpikorik, ez hamarrez gainekorik".
