Pedestal of white marble. Honours bestowed to Regilla by the boule and demos of Delphi. Regilla was described as the wife of the benefactor Herodes (Ἡρώδου τοῦ εὐεργέτου γυναῖκα) and was honoured on account of her virtue, moderation and love for her husband. She was also praised for excelling all women of the past because of her noble descent, moderation and the rest of her qualities. |
