One more notable #Roman woman -- #Eumachia! Patroness of #Pompeii -- and, well, we all know what happened there...
Eumachia (before 64 AD), “was a priestess and prominent citizen of Pompeii” (Lefkowitz, 159). Though she was not from a prominent family, she inherited a fortune “from her father, a brick manufacturer” (Lefkowitz, 159), and married “into one of Pompeii’s oldest families” (Lefkowitz, 159).
She used her fortune to “erect a number of public buildings in Pompeii” (Salisbury, 307), and was “patroness of the guild of fullers (cleaners, dyers and clothing makers)” [people who dealt with #wool] (Lefkowitz, 159).
Eumachia was an example of how “imperial [Roman] women, while they had no formal role in government, were highly influential nevertheless” (Salisbury, 307).
