Article itself seems fine, expanded adequately and well-cited throughout, but I think the primary hook needs a little work. The article and its citations (assuming good faith on the relevant one used here) discuss her being named for her staff, not necessarily her abilities--I know this might seem pedantic but it's conflating something that might not be inherent. I'm also not sure the lay reader--the average main-page visitor--would be familiair with the "1st c." formatting and so maybe we want to spell out "1st century" here, but that's a minor quibble. ALT1 is perfectly fine though so if we prefer to just run with it then we're good to go, but I'll wait for a response before giving it the tick. 𝄠ʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 00:07, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
