Notes on dating Dated to second century by Balla e.a. 1971 but without arguments. EDH suggests 70 CE as a post quem date. Savaria was founded by Claudius but the city developed mostly from Domitian onwards. The relatively low sum in sesterces does suggest a pre-third century date.

Notes
The inscription refers to the dedication of a monument. The dedicant has a relation to the collegium which is expressed in the genitive case, but wether this was as an officer of the guild (e.g. magister collegii …) or as its praefectus or patronus cannot be made out. The inscription also refers to the proceeds or to a part ('ex') of a sum of 1000 sestertii. This could indicate an endowment of the collegium, but again the text is too fragmentary to be sure.
