It's not a phrase I've come across and I'd wonder what it meant, how it differed from other types of culture and be loathe to make a guess. But Yahoo seems to have attracted an opinion. https:/
first decide what culture means
what about - "a group of people sharing a common set of beliefs, activities and artefacts..."
then that includes - kitchen culture and the activities of buying and selling - also of slavery and oops prostitution
all of which I think are excluded by the word intellectual
so what is left - literature - poetry - books - religion possibly, politics
actually - not a bad question
takes poesy only
Latin lit - what do the women do ? well they are adored by the poets - examples - Daphne, Lycoris, Lesbia
( sorry giving only their poetic names)
as opposed to Greek Lit - Sappho - wrote poetry
Religion - you have the vestal virgins - but they werent intellectuals
see how it goes....
