Notes
As in the case of the fabri tignuarii and the dendrophori there were probably two collegia of centonarii in Lugdunum, one of the consistentes, one of the Colonia (see also Liu 2009: 132, 210). But the inscriptions are not clear-cut and the two groups may have been closely linked.
 
The existence of an association of centonarii Lugduni consistentes is explicitly confirmed in two inscriptions:
  • patrono / centonarior(um) Lug(uduni) consist(entium) (CIL 13, 01961)
  • cor/por[ati inter cen]to/na[rios Lugud(uni) c]on/s[istentes] (AE 1982, 00702)
 
one refers to a consistens who was magistrate of an association of centonarii
  • centonario(!) Lug(uduni) consis/tent(i) honorato (CIL 13, 01972)
 
one is non specific:
  • centonari(i) suo impen/dio restituerunt (CIL 13, 01805)
