Description

  • Monument: A white marble columnar statue base shaft (H. 1.67, diam. 0.48) with a moulded upper rim; the stone is badly weathered, and partly broken away above.
  • Text: Inscribed very lightly on the upper part of the column.
  • Letters: Elongated; av. 0.05, phi 0.06; standard sigma and omega; the style appears appropriate to the late third or early fourth century. Boulanger apparently saw traces of red in the letters, but none remains.
  • Date: Fourth century (lettering, content).
