Abstract

This article is the first publication of a Greek inscription from Akmoneia in Phrygia, dated to A.D. 6/7. The monument is an honorific stele for a priestess by the name of Tatia, and was voted by a body of 'Greek and Roman women'. As a document of collective political activity by a female corporate group, the inscription has no real parallels in either the Greek or Roman world. The monument is set in the context of the Roman mercantile presence in central Phrygia in the late Republican and early Imperial periods, and some proposals are offered concerning the identity and significance of the honouring body. © The Author(s) 2010.
