Comments: |
Fragment of a stele, broken on the right, top and bottom. Honorific decree for Afinia Secunda, perhaps on account of a benefaction she bestowed. The intervention of a Roman legatus is also attested in the inscription (ll. 7-8, πρεσβευτοῦ) and this could have been connected with the Roman citizenship of Afinia Secunda. |
