Limestone base. Dedication of a statue by Grania Quinta to P. Caninius Agrippa, imperial procurator of the province of Achaea. Grania Quinta was probably a sister or daughter of the prominent Q. Granius Bassus, imperial procurator, comes Aug. and praefectus fabrum (RP I, COR 302). The Granii and the Caninii were two prominent Corinthian families connected by marriage (Stansbury, Corinthian honour, 219-220), though the connection between the dedicant and the honorand is not clear. |
