Three new Inscriptions from Pontus and Pisidia

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 September 2012

Extract

The Rev. G. E. White of Anatolia College, Marsovan, to whom we owe the knowledge of several interesting inscriptions of Asia Minor, has laid us under a fresh obligation by sending copies of two epitaphs recently discovered in the district where he lives. These texts will be of interest to students of the Roman empire, and we take the opportunity of publishing them without delay in these pages.

page 234 note 1 We need quote only one example which comes ready to hand, C.I.G. 3953, l (cf. Bérard, B.C.H. 1892, p. 417; Ramsay, Cities, p. 271, no. 96), where the deceased is similarly honoured by the council and people, but the significant fact is added that the erection of the monument was undertaken by his grand-daughter at her own expense.

page 234 note 5 Filow, Klio, vii, p. 456, f. and Beiheft, vi, p. 64. Its earlier camp was at Oescus (ibid.).

page 234 note 7 C.I.L. iii, 1421410; cf. Domaszewski, Rangordnung, p. 87, but there is nothing to show that the ‘centurion’ he quotes from Ancyra was a centurion: the Corpus restores [vet.] leg. V. Mac. (iii 6184).

page 234 note 8 For section 2 I alone am responsible— J. G. C. A.

page 235 note 1 C.I.L. iii, 6844, and one unpublished text.

page 235 note 2 C.I.L. iii, 6821, 6831. In the former the text is wrongly altered: the correct reading is T. Calpurnius Frugi Pbilippus. The lettering indicates the Flavian period. For the ala, cf. Calder, J.R.S. ii, pp. 99, 101.

page 235 note 3 The evidence is not extensive, but it is unanimous. J.R.S. ii, p. 99, no. 31, trib. mil. leg. III Cyren. under Claudius or Nero. Ibid. p. 102, no. 34 we should probably restore [trib.] milleg. XII Fulm. under Vespasian. C.I.L. iii, 6814–6816, trib. mil. leg. vi Ferr. apparently of the Antonine age. An unpublished inscription, perhaps of the early second century, L. Sergio L. f. Paullo filio, IIII vir. v.c, tri[b.] mil. leg. VI Ferr., quaest. may not perhaps refer to a citizen of Antioch, in view of the fact that the tribe is omitted and that the inscription was possibly continued on another block. The only primipilus mentioned, Anicius Maximus, served in the XII Fulm. He took part in the conquest of Britain as praefectus castrorum of legio II Augusta, but he was then transferred in the same capacity to Egypt (iii, 6809).
