Slab of white marble with pilasters on the sides and tenon below (212 x 66 x 19-21 cm; letter height: 1.8-2.5 cm). The precise nature of this group of women is not known, but it is included here as an example of women forming a group (whether more temporary or ongoing) to honor a cultic functionary. The reference to Tatia being a benefactor "at every opportunity" may point to an ongoing existence for the group. Male Roman settlers regularly formed associations, and this group seems to correspond to that tendency, combining the wives of Roman settlers and Greeks. Corporate bodies (politeumata) of women which engaged in banqueting and other activities are attested elsewhere, as at Lagina and Panamara (search those locales on this site for further relevant inscriptions). Some groups devoted to the god Dionysos (maenads) consisted solely of women as well. More commonly attested than solely female groups were associations that included both male and female members.
