Ante quem 169 AD
Notes on dating The date is based on the plural "Augg(ustorum)" and the (first ever) dedication to "Asclepius conservator Augustorum" being particularly appropriate for the period of the Antonine Plague, wich reached Rome in 165/166 CE and raged intermittingly until the early 190s. The Augusti could be Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus (161-169 CE) or Commodus (176-180 CE), probably not Septimius Severus and Caracalla 198-209 CE) or Caracalla and Geta (211-212 CE) since the dedicator is not recorded in the album CIL 06, 33858. Royden (1988: 172) suggests also 162 CE, when Verus fell sick at Canusium, but it seems unlikely that this would have been enough for the dedicant to set up two dedications (to Asclepius and to Salus) for both emperors and give a distribution to the quinquennales and honorati.

Notes
Dedication to Salus Augustorum, similar to E 1941, 00069 (to Asclepius Conservator Augustorum) probably set up in the schola of the guild by an honoratus of the guild. He also provided a handout the quinquennales, honorati, decuriones and scribes.

Notes on the source
The monument contains two inscriptions: one dating to the reign of Trajan (AE 2004, 00285a), the other probably to the reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus or Marcus Aurelius and Commodus (AE 2004, 00285b).
The same dedicant set up an almost identical inscription to Asclepius Conservator Augg (AE 1941, 69).
