The Public Presence of Women in the Cities of Roman North Africa. Two Case Studies: Thamugadi and Cuicul

Abstract

This chapter deals with the 'monumental' presence of women in the cities of Roman North Africa, that is their appearance in inscriptions and portrait statues which were erected on the public places of this region's urban centres, thus being visible for a broader audience. For this purpose, the chapter focuses on case studies concerning two middle-sized towns in the Roman province of Numidia: Thamugadi (Timgad) and Cuicul (Djemila). The one woman who really stands out in the epigraphic record of Thamugadi is Cornelia Valentina Tucciana s. Sertia, who lived in the early third century AD. Tucciana was honoured with no less than five statues in the public sphere. Didia Cornelia and her sister Didia Cornelia Ingenua initiated the installation of three statuary monuments (two of them ex testamento ) for their father (twice) and their brother (both of them equites Romani ) on the 'North Forum'. Keywords:Cuicul; Roman North Africa; Thamugadi; women
