Fourteen fragments of a block of white marble streaked with green. Inscription in honour of Antonia's father [L. A]nto[nius L. 1. -]e[ ] Pr[ ] erected from money received from his will (ex testamento) by the person (his daughter), her mother [- - - G]alla (COR 288), her brothers and her sister Sau[feia] P[risca] (COR 549). The restoration of the tribe as Me[n(inia)] and that of the cognomen as Priscus are speculative, since other names such as Primus, Probus or Proculus would fit the space as well (see the remarks on RP I, COR 69). |
