<div>CIL 3, 00611 </div> <div> </div> <div>Despite his probably Syrian background and Greek geographic cognomen, Epidamnus gained equestrian status and achieved the highest offices of the <em>colonia</em> of Dyrrhacium. He was <em>aedilis</em> and <em>duumvir quinquennalis</em>, <em>flamen</em> and <em>augur</em>, and was co-opted patron of the city. He also became <em>praefectus perpetuus</em> of the <em>fabri tignuarii</em> of the city, whom he seems to have favoured. They honoured him with a statue, which the city council allowed to be placed on a public location.</div> |
