Flavia Seia Isaurica

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flavia Seia Isaurica (floruit 141) was an ancient Roman businesswoman.

She was the domina (owner) of six brick clay beds in Campania, of which she owned at least two alone, and employed at least ten foremen (officinatores). She was active in the brick industry from 115 until at least 141. She is regarded as a significant example of a successful Roman businesswoman from her day and has been the subject of research.
