Lalla of Arneae
Lalla of Arneae (fl. c80 – c100 AD) was a Graeco-Roman civic benefactor.
Lalla was the daughter of Teimarchos of Arneae in Lycia, Asia Minor, and became the wife of a nobleman named Diotomos. She served as priestess to the Imperial cult, and was responsible for the construction of a public meeting house (parochion) and a gymnasium, jointly with her husband. For these public benefactions the couple were honoured with inscriptions put up by the city of Arneae and by the Lycian League.
