[1] This fragmentary inscription for the Emperor Hadrian (r. 117-138 AD) was identified by Benjamin as one of a large group of altars dedicated to Hadrian (on which see Benjamin, Altars of Hadrian 7 with notes), based on letter forms and spacing. However, the inscription does not employ the usual formula for these altars and might rather be a statue base.
