Working #women are frequently attested in the #Roman empire: the funerary stele of Sentia Amarantis depicts the deceased tapping wine from a barrel. She was an inn-keeper and died at the age of 45. The stele was set up by her husband. From Augusta Emerita/Mérida, 3rd c. AD. #ReliefWednesday 🏺
A fragment of a marble relief showing a woman in a long robe pouring liquid from a barrel supported by a wooden frame. An inscription below, in Latin, mentions the deceased: Sentia Amarantis.

What did Roman wine taste like? Much better than previously thought, according to new research
Roman wines may have looked and tasted better than long assumed. The answer lies in their use of clay jars, a technique still used in modern winemaking in Georgia.
