Ante quem 150 AD
Notes on dating A hard post quem date is provided by the imperial name and military unit. Legio VII became Claudia Fidelis in 42 CE, but we should allow a few years before Epaphroditus was honourably discharged. Zaccaria (1987: 130-131, n. 7) dated the monument to the third quarter of the first century based on the style of the monument, the name Ti. Claudius, the absence of Dis Manibus ('non permette di spingersi altre l'inizio dell'eta flavia), and the spelling 'vivos' in stead of 'vivus'; Zimmer (1982: 212, no; 163) argues for a trajanic post quem date, based on the abbreviation CLPF which would have replaced the older CPF under that emperor (but see exceptionally CIL 03, 15004, 42-69 CE), and c. 150 CE as ante quem date based on the 'trajanic-hadrianic' hairstyle of the woman; Dexheimer (1998: 36, 39, 55, no. 122) argues for a hadrianic date, also based on the hairstyle of the wife, which he sees as inspired by that of Vibia Sabina, Hadrian's wife (p. 36), and the representation of the dress of both husband and wife which follow on trajanic style tendencies (p. 39), he too refers to the abbrevation CLPF (p. 112); Noll (1986: 56-57, no. 201) posits the first century CE, Hope (2001: 136) the 'second century', both without further arguments.
