Carminia Ammia

Carminia Ammia (fl. c140 – c170 AD) was a Graeco-Roman public benefactress. She was the second wife of Marcus Ulpius Carminius Claudius the elder, a priest of the goddess Aphrodite in Attouda, Caria, in Asia Minor.

Carminia held the civic honour of stephanephoros, a title given to magistrates in some Greek cities who had been granted the honor of being allowed to wear a wreath or garland on public occasions. She also served as priestess of Thea Maeter Adrastos and of Aphrodite. Her first priesthood was later held by her son M. Ulpius Carminius Claudius the younger. Her granddaughter, Ulpia Carminia Claudiana also held civic office. This granddaughter appeared on Roman coinage with Geta Caesar, the son of emperor Septimius Severus and brother of Caracalla.

gollark: Discord voice chat also prioritizes real-timeness over not skipping things, so it will remain more in sync with the actual OIR™ stream but sometimes sound juddery.

gollark: You can just use the web frontend.

gollark: It's not really optimized for long-term use since it has no autoreconnect.

gollark: Well, it could also play into that, I suppose. Nobody seems to use the heavserver one, so meh.

gollark: You can also listen to OIR™ via heavserver.
