Allia Potestas
Allia Potestas was a freedwoman from the Roman town of Perugia who lived sometime during the 1st–4th centuries CE.〔Horsfall, N: ''CIL VI 37965 = CLE 1988 (Epitaph of Allia Potestas): A Commentary'', ZPE 61: 1985〕 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,〔Gordon, A.E: ''Illustrated Introduction to Latin Epigraphy'': Berkeley 1983〕 is unique because it contains both typical epitaphic information and more personal and sexual details.〔
== Epitaph ==
The 50-line epitaph is written in verse, mostly in dactylic hexameter.〔 The author appears to have been well-read, with some of the poem imitating Ovid's Tristia. However, the majority of the poem is original in formulation.〔
The poem, apparently written by her lover, can be divided into three sections. The first focuses on Allia's virtues, describing her as extremely hardworking – "always the first to rise and the last to sleep..., with her woolwork never leaving her hands without reason". The second extols her beauty with semi-erotic descriptions of her body and notes that she lived harmoniously with two lovers. Finally, the author laments her death and promises that she "shall live as long as may be possible through () verses."〔
