Commentary
Apparently one of the series of dedications from the East Court of the Hadrianic Baths: 1184, 1185, 1186, 1188, 1189, 1190, 1191, 1192, 1193, 1194, 1195, 1196, 1197, 1198, 1199, 1200, 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204, 1205, 1206, 1207, 1208, 1209, 1210; all are by women, and apparently bore caryatids (see 1198).
