Le parole dell’elegia e Flavia Dionisiade, poetessa bambina
CLE 1166 = CIL VI 18324
Abstract
Epigraphic poem CLE 1166 is dedicated to Flavia Dionisiade, who passed away at the age of just seven. The aim of the epitaph was to commemorate the child and, with her, a particular talent of hers. For years, following Bücheler’s interpretation, this talent has been understood as skill in dancing. However, the poem’s wording tells a different story: an analysis, supported by the Thesaurus linguae Latinae, demonstrates that Flavia Dionisiade was a young poet, particularly devoted to elegiac poetry.
