Description of Monument

A white marble columnar statue base shaft (1.67, diam. 0.48) with a moulded upper rim; the stone is badly weathered, and partly broken away above.

Description of Text

Inscribed very lightly on the upper part of the column.

Description of 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 paint in the letters, but none remains.

Date

c. A.D. 324-350 (lettering, content).
