| Riepilogo: | A new displaced inscription found in Palmyra, in Latin, Greek and Palmyrene, gives the names of two freedmen who have built together a tomb in AD 56/57. They were C. Virius Alcimus and T. Statilius Hermes. The former is also known from his likeness in the British Museum (WA 125036), where he is shown with his wife Viria Phoibe. The same man is also mentioned in the Tariff as a publican, together with his partner (as restored by I.S. Shifman), during or before the governorship of Licinius Mucianus (AD 67-69). Accordingly, the BM sculpture cannot be later than the second half of the 1st cent., being thus one of the earliest funerary sculptures on record from Palmyra. |
