The funeral altar of the image was erected by Ulpios Zosas after the death of his wife Iulia Eutychiane, as a sign of her tomb, in the second half of the 2nd century AD. In the inscription engraved on the monument, he proudly remarks that she was a famous doctor, and in fact he emphasizes her status as a men doctor first, and then her status as a midwife, which is common and expected for a woman.
