Arria (philosopher)
Arria was a philosopher and Platonist of the 2nd century CE. We know that she was a friend of the medical annalist Galen, and was admired by Roman emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla.[1][2]
Scholar Gilles Ménage, in his Historia Mulierum Philosopharum, proposed that it was to this Arria that Diogenes Laërtius dedicated his Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers.[3]
