[1] This altar was originally dedicated to Emperor Augustus (r. 31 BC-AD 14), on whose cult honours, see Agora XVI 336 with notes. Around 132 AD, Emperor Hadrian’s name was added in l. 4. Over a hundred altars were dedicated to Hadrian at this time, see Benjamin, Altars of Hadrian 7 with notes. For other repurposed altars, see Benjamin, Altars of Hadrian 34 and 37, and perhaps 3.
