   Comments:

Circular base belonging to a statue dedication in honour of Claudia Kallistoneike, set up by her father. On Claudia Kallistoneike, see Bradford 227 (1). Kallistoneike’s father was a Claudius, so it is possible that the same nomen can be attributed to her. An identification with Claudia Kallistonika (see the relevant entry) cannot be excluded, though it seems that this inscription might be of a later date.
