'Umma' was a tavern-keeper in ancient Carnuntum in the days of Marcus Aurelius. She was a distant ancestress of Nicole Gunther.

By all accounts, Umma was typical of a woman if her time, treating her slave Julia and beating her children. That all changed when her distant descendant made a wish to Liber and Libera to live in 170 AD. Soon, the two gods deposited Gunther into Umma's and Nicole did all kinds of things Umma probably wouldn't approved of such as freeing Julia, being gentler with Umma's children and cool and distant to Titus Calidus, Umma's lover. Later, Nicole made right both of the last two mistakes.

Nicole wondered sometimes where Umma had gone while Nicole was in possession of the latter's body. She hoped she didn't have to spend six weeks in Nicole's body in a comatose state.
