Abstract
Latin epitaphs dedicated to women of all condition often praise the virtues, mainly domestic, of some exemplary puellae and matronae. However, masculine values considered like strength, sense of justice, or eloquence are occasionally underlined in carmina epigraphica as well as in prose inscriptions, with a mainly consoling aim which, above all in Christian inscriptions, is used to complete a new model of behavior.
