Who is Allia Potestas?

Allia Potestas was a freedwoman from the Roman town of Perugia who lived sometime during the 1st–4th centuries CE. 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, is unique because it contains both typical epitaphic information and more personal and sexual details.
