Notes
This document refers to a faber navalis. Waltzing (1895: III, 474, no. 1799) connects it to a collegium fabrum navalium. However, we cannot be sure that the deceased who set up this inscription with a relief was actually a member of a collegium fabrum navalium. He may have been a member of the collegium fabrum in Ravenna, which was very large and is known to have met in the temple of Neptune and to have participated in the Neptunalia (cf. CIL 11, 00126). The early date of the inscription, however, makes even this assumption doubtful, since most collegia don't predate the later first century.
