“Aurelia Paulina held the offices of priestess of Artemis Pergaia and priestess of the imperial cult, a title she shared with her husband, Aquilus. Born in Syria, she received a grant of Roman citizenship from the emperor Commodus (180-192 CE), thus adding Aurelia to her name. Very wealthy, she constructed a large monumental nymphaeum in the trapezoidal courtyard outside Perge’s southern city gate and dedicated it to Artemis Pergaia and the Severan imperial family (193-211 CE). Perge, Turkey.”
