As a methodological experiment, this article privileges a female voice belonging to an inferior class that survives in a well-known inscription (CIL 6.18817 = ILS 8006) as its primary testimony regarding the manes, and it deploys parallels from Latin literature (Cicero, Propertius, Vergil, Ovid, Juvenal, and Apuleius) as subsidiary aids to the interpretation of what she had to say. Results suggest that we might use female-authored inscriptions as a means to assess the authenticity of male-authored representations of female experience, thus allowing us to recoup from both types of sources more evidence than we might have expected from either in isolation
