A dedication to Minerva Victrix Ergane by a magister, a minister and a procurator of collegia of fabri, dendrophori, and centonarii and their patronus. Almost certainly false. See critical note in the source record.

Titus Purellius Succulus, son of Titus, patron, quattuorvir quinquennalis has donated as a gift. |
Notes on the source |
Accepted as genuine by La Rocca (in Cecamore 2002: 5-8) but like many of the inscriptions preserved only in Ligorius' manuscrips of doubtful authenticity (Cooley 2012: 386-394). In this case for various specific reasons:
1) The separation of fabrorum and tinguariorum is very odd and suspicious since it seems to indicate that whoever wrote this tekst either assumed that there were four related collegia, viz. of the fabri, dendrophori, the centonarii, and the tignuarii, or that there were three variants of collegia fabrum, viz. of dendrophori, centonarii, and tignuarii.
2) Equally suspicious is the position of the patron and quattuorvir quinquennalis, T. Purellius T. f. Succulus. The latter is a municipal office, not a collegial one. Theoretically it might be possible that the three (or four) most prestigious collegii of Rome elected a municipal notable as patron, but since this monument was erected in Rome it should in that case have mentioned the city of which Purellius had obtained the high office.
3) ministri are usually slaves, not freeborn as would here be the case
