So is the clear statement that she had both male and female patients. I have argued that, in principle, there is no reason to think that women doctors in the Roman empire did not treat men as well as women, and this seems to prove the point. The importance of generation, supporting healthy child-bearing, in any medical practice is also underlined.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The text has not been fitted into the defined space of the die, spilling over the edges and the bottom. The name is inserted against the metre, \u2018with no regard even for the number of syllables in the otherwise metrically impeccable distich\u2019, as Julia Lougovaya remarks in her survey of the many verse inscriptions commemorating doctors across the ancient world. This is not the usual approach to the challenge of accommodating proper names, and the literary aptitude enacted in the rest of the composition is more representative of the genre as a whole. These are funerary monuments which display culture and learning as well as professional achievements.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Iulia Eutychiane may also have dedicated another marble funerary altar discovered in Dion, to a \u2018Iulios\u2019 (<em>SEG<\/em> LXI.495), and if the \u2018House of Zosas\u2019, so-called because of the name on a fine mosaic found within it, belonged to her husband, or his family, then that would certainly locate her within the upper echelons of city society. The indications of wealth and status embodied in this altar would be strengthened.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"903\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/stamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/649\/2025\/12\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/stamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/649\/2025\/12\/image.png 903w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/stamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/649\/2025\/12\/image-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/stamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/649\/2025\/12\/image-768x577.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 903px) 100vw, 903px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Carole Raddato (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/en:Creative_Commons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creative Commons<\/a>\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/deed.en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic<\/a>\u202flicense).&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bibliography&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dasen, V. 2016. \u2018<em>L\u2019ars medica\u202f<\/em>au f\u00e9minin\u2019<em>, Eugesta, Revue sur le genre dans l\u2019Antiquit\u00e9,\u202f<\/em>6: 1-40.
