Transliterations on Places on

[1] This fragment found at Eleusis is part of a statue base for someone associated with Emperor Septimius Severus and his wife Julia Domna. The name of the actual honorand (an imperial freedman?) perhaps appeared in ll. 1-3. On Athenian statues and dedications connected with the Severan dynasty, see SEG 34.184. Severus' titulature indicates that the statue dates after summer 195 AD, when Severus received the titles of "Arabicus Adiabenicus" in commemoration of his first Parthian campaign, and probably belongs before January 198, when he assumed the further title, "Parthicus Maximus," in commemoration of his second campaign.
