A fragment of a marble base, found near ancient Blaundos at the end of the 19th century and today lost, bears an honorific inscription, very incomplete, for Servilius Damocrates. Comparison with other sources – epigraphic, numismatic, and literary – allows us to establish the profession of this man, the chronology of his activity (around the middle of the first century A.D.), and, above all, Servilius’s role of “mediation” between his home town Blaundos, members of the Roman elite, and the imperial court.

Abstract
A fragment of a marble base, found near ancient Blaundos at the end of the 19th century and today lost, bears an honorific inscription, very incomplete, for Servilius Damocrates. Comparison with other sources – epigraphic, numismatic, and literary – allows us to establish the profession of this man, the chronology of his activity (around the middle of the first century A.D.), and, above all, Servilius’s role of “mediation” between his home town Blaundos, members of the Roman elite, and the imperial court.File in questo prodotto:
