| Notes |
A funerary stela for a magistrate and decurio of the guild of craftsmen and his wife, set up by their son. They leave an endowment of 200 denarii to the guild to bring roses to the grave every year at the festival of the Carnaria. The inscription mentions that the deceased had been IIIIIvir (quinquevir). This might be a stone-cutter's mistake for IIIIIIvir (sevir), but the office of 'quinquevir' is a little attested minor office in Roman cities, so we cannot exclude the reading 'quinquevir'. If it is not a stone-cutter's mistake, the title mentioned in this inscription most likely refers to this minor office, rather than being a local alternative to 'magister quinquennalis' as usual in the 'collegia fabrum' (cf. Premerstein 1903; Kos 2002; Kos 2016) |
