| Notes |
The inscription from a statue base records a decree from the ordo of the collegium dendrophorum of Pola to set up a bronze statue to honour their patron and benefactor, Quintus Mursius Plinius Minervianus, an important local notable who had been duumvir and patron of the city. The statue would be set up in the forum of the city on a location given to them by the city council. It was paid for by a money collection among the members (aere collato). As reason the decree refers to the benefactions the collegium had received from the honorand. These were certainly not merely material since the text refers to the auctoritas which the honorand had exercized on their behalf. The honorand declared to be content with the honour and so appears to have reimbursed the cost to the collegium.
