Comments: |
White marble base. Though this is a funerary inscription for Iunia Polla, a public framework is clear, since the monument was set up by decree of the Corinthian coloni. The connection between Iunia Polla and the coloni of Corinth is unknown, though some sort of benefaction is possible. |
