Lady Mineia

Here's a short document I publishing from Zoho to my blog. It was much easier than I thought, and only look a few seconds!


Who was Lady Mineia?

Lady Mineia was a major benefactor of the ancient Roman city of Paestum, as can be seen by historical inscriptions found when archaeologists were excavating the ancient site. During Roman time, women's name were taken from their family name. Thus, Lady Mineia was the daughter of Mineianus. Mineia M.f. (MINEIAnus Marci F.) was also the widow of C. Cocceius Flaccus. Her family was both rich and powerful.
