Allia Potestas was a freedwoman from the Roman town of Perugia who lived sometime during the 2nd-4th century CE.[1] She is known only through her epitaph, found on a marble tablet in Via Pinciana, Rome in 1912. The inscription, considered to be one of the most interesting of Latin epitaphs[2], is unique because it contains both typical epitaphic information and more personal and sexual details.[3]
Date
Much controversy surrounds the exact dating of the epigraph. Upon first discovery, the work was dated to around 300CE on paleographic grounds.
