There's quite a bibliography on nymphs! The philologist James Adams has suggested a link between the nymphs of AE 1928, 37 (Campbell's Rule #42: All inscriptions should be cited by AE, ILS or RIB number, if humanly possible) and those of Catullus, Carmen 64 -- the main point is to demonstrate that legionary centurions were often cultured chappies who knew their poetry.
