Epitafios-denuncia del homicidio de dos mujeres romanas

Abstract

Se estudian dos epitafios que presentan una interesante particularidad: en ellos se acusa a quien ha dado muerte a la persona fallecida violenta y voluntariamente. En ambos casos, los dedicantes fueron los parientes masculinos de dos mujeres, Iulia Maiana y Prima Florentia, quienes perdieron la vida a manos de sus maridos en Lugdunum y Roma respectivamente.
