<div>CIL 14, 00160 </div> <div> </div> <div>Vettius Mercurius had been 'cornicularius' of P. Bassilius P. f. Crescens, who had been tribune of the Cohors I Germanorum, procurator of the gladiatorial school (Ludus Matutinus), and procurator annonae Augusti at Ostia. Presumably he had fulfilled his office in the Cohors I Germanorum and afterwards followed his commanding officer back to Italy. It seems likely that Bassilius Crescens was the acutal benefactor and Vettius Mercurius merely the go-between.</div> |
