Abstract

During the second century CE a particular epigraphic culture developed in Asia Minor, in which local elites attached large epigraphic dossiers to their tombs, testifying to their impressive careers and achievements. An atypical case in point is the epigraphic dossier inscribed on the mausoleum founded by Licinnia Flavilla in the Lycian city of Oinoanda, which records the genealogy of her family. This paper examines how Licinnia Flavilla with the monumental presentation of her dossier clearly adheres to the broader epigraphic practice common in the second century. But while the dossiers erected by male aristocrats focused on external relations and splendid careers, Licinnia places emphasis on her family.
