Status notes and comments	M. Opellius M. f. Pap. Adiutor is known from several inscriptions (cf. Rossignol 2008: 95). He was a prominent man in and around Sarmizegetusa. His career is relatively well known: quaestor (IDR-0----02, 00117) aedilis (IDR-0----02, 00117) duumvir (CIL ---, 942) duumvir iure dicundo (AE 200---, 1514) praefectus collegii fabrum (AE 200---, 1514) He received a public statue in Sarmizegetusa (AE 200---, 1514). He was heir to another important notable, P. Celsenius Constans, who was both decurio at Sarmizegetusa and at Aequum, whose funeral monument he erected in Ampelum (CIL ---, 1---2---). Opellius Adiutor's presence at Ampelum suggests that he had interests in gold mining.
