Officina di IG XIV2 – Nuove iscrizioni greche di età imperiale da Puteoli
Abstract
The paper reports on four new Greek inscriptions from Puteoli, found between 2000 and 2007/08, a bilingual text and three Greek ones. The first three are epitaphs and, although short, are interesting for their onomastics and use of funerary formulas. Only a small portion of the fourth inscription is preserved but its provenance from the stadium of Puteoli and the text reconstruction hypothesised here make it highly probable that it belongs to the typology of agonistic inscriptions: it is not to be excluded that it is the fragment of an agonistic catalogue of the Eusebeia, a typology that it is not yet attested for the Greek style agones founded by Antoninus Pius in memory of his adoptive father Hadrian.
