This paper presents a general overview of the emergence and construction of certain forms of public memory of women in the cities of the Western Roman Empire (1st-3rd centuries AD). These forms, which represent a clear break with previous patterns, are related to the transformations that occurred during the late Republic and the new channels of civic participation generated within the political framework of the Principate, mainly euergetism and female priesthoods. The text discusses some of how the memory of women, often intertwined with that of their families, found a normalized expression and could be materialized, thus populating the public spaces of the communities.
