Comments: |
Three marble fragments bearing a civic honourific inscription for the gymnasiarch, eponymous patronomos, philokaisar and philopatris Sex. Pompeius Theoxenos (RP II, LAC 635), funded by his three children, among whom is Pompeia Polla (II). She was the great-niece of Pompeia Polla (I) (RP II, LAC 613, see the relevant entry) to whom she must have owed her name, cf. Spawforth 1985, 245-246. |
