Carminia held the civic honour of stephanephoros, a title given to magistrates in some Greek cities who had been granted the honor of being allowed to wear a wreath or garland on public occasions.[3] She also served as priestess of Thea Maeter Adrastos and of Aphrodite. Her first priesthood was later held by her son Marcus Ulpius Carminius Claudianus the younger.[4][5] Her granddaughter, Ulpia Carminia Claudiana also held civic office. This granddaughter appeared on Roman coinage with Geta Caesar, the son of emperor Septimius Severus and brother of Caracalla.[5]
