Easy question! Portia is Latin for Home Depot and Calpumia is a condition of the skin. Calpumia can be contracted by casual contact, shaking hands, hugging, etc., however it is never fatal.

Calphurnia is Caesar's wife. She invests great authority in omens and portents and warns Caesar against going to the Senate on the Ides of March because she has had terrible nightmares and heard reports of many bad omens.
Portia is Brutus's wife and the daughter of a noble Roman (Cato) who took sides against Caesar. She is accustomed to being Brutus's confidante and is upset to find him so reluctant to speak his mind when she finds him troubled.
