| Notes |
Crescentes (or adcrescentes) are the sons of guild members and were thus considered 'members in waiting'. (Liebenam 1890: 174; Waltzing (1895-1900: III, 390, no. 1487; Ausbüttel 1982: 42; Zaccaria 1995: 301).
Waltzing notes that there should have been a single collegium fabrum argentariorum et crescentes Caesariensium: 'Crescentes ou adcrescentes, ce sont les flls des collegiati attachés héréditairement au collège. … Ce qui est remarquable, c'est qu'ils forment un collège à part a Caesarea …' (Waltzing, ad loc.)
A similar organisation seems attested for the fabri in Aquileiae , where there was a collegium fabrum and a collegium incrementorum cultorum Minervae (CIL 05, 08251; Zaccaria 1995).
In both cases it seems best to consider the crescentes and incrementi as sub-units or dependent associations.
For (ad)crescentes and children of guild-members attached to their father's (or parent's) guild see CIL 09, 02998 (and Mommen's notes there), CIL 14, 03649 (collegium of circitores Augusti with adcrescentes) and the meaning of adcrescentes in the Codex Theodosianus.
