An altar set up to the Numen Augusti and Deus Silvanus by the fabri tignuarii consistentes in the town.
This is one of the earliest securily dated attestations of fabri tignuarii acting as a collective. We may note the absence of a collective designation (such as collegium), but the addition that they set up the altar 'with their own money' (d(e) s(ua) p(ecunia) p(osuerunt)), rather than aere collato indicates the existence of some minimal associative structure.
The town began to be urbanised under the reign of Claudius (Valette 2004: 425), possibly the presence of a "community" of fabri tignuarii is related to this event. Another inscription records the building of a stone theatre to replace an older wooden structure during the reign of Claudius (CIL 13, 01642: Divo Augusto sacrum / pro salute Ti(beri) Claudi / Caesaris August(i) Germ(anici) / Ti(berius) Claudius Arucae fil(ius) Capito / sacerdos Aug(usti) theatrum quod / Lupus Anthi f(ilius) ligneum posuerat / d(e) s(ua) p(ecunia) lapideum restituit).
See also CIL 13, 02013, referring to a curator civium Romanorum in Segusiavi negotiantium.
