Inscriptions of Roman Tripolitania: A Supplement

Abstract

Since the publication of The Inscriptions of Roman Tripolitania a number of additinal inscribed stones have come to light in the province. Many of these have been, or are about to be, published in reports on the surveys or excavations during which they were found. Those that cannot be quickly or conveniently treated in this way are assembled in the first section of this note. Twenty-four of the texts in this section are quite new; the remainder are known texts that have been supplemented by the discovery of new fragments, or modified after re-reading. With them are given a small number of additional comments on published texts. In this section are included a certain number of texts or fragments that were found during the original excavation of the Forum Severianum by Professor Caputo, and rediscovered after the publication of IRT when the Forum was cleared of the debris left by the flood of 1946. These, together with all the known inscriptions of the Forum Severianum, will be the subject of a definitive publication by Professor Attilio Degrassi in an Anglo-Italian publication of the Severan buildings at Lepcis.

The periphery of Lepcis Magna: new data related to the ancient road network and land partition

“…The starting point of this route was the same as for the via in mediterraneum (see Part 2.4), that is where the Porta Augusta Salutaris was located and where the arch of Septimius Severus was subsequently built. It should also be remembered that beside the milestone erected by L. Aelius Lamia (Figure 2.H; IRT 930), another milestone dated to Domitian was found in the same area (Figures 2.I; 10.B; Reynolds 1955, 125, n. 3 = IRT 975). Unfortunately, due to its poor state of preservation, it is not possible to establish if this milestone, most likely a caput viae , belonged to this road or to the ‘East Gebel road’.…”

“…;IRT 2009), an online edition of Reynolds, Ward-Perkins 1952 (abbrev. : IRT) that adds translations by Reynolds, photos by Ward-Perkins, and maps prepared by Hafed Walda, but does not include new texts other than those in the 1955 supplement (Reynolds 1955); and Benzina ben Abdallah, Ladjimi Sebaï 2011, a supplement to Benzina ben Abdallah's earlier catalog of inscriptions in the Bardo Museum (Benzina ben Abdallah 1986), which unlike the earlier work contains primarily unedited fragments and fragmentary inscriptions, with the result that names of most gods (other than Faunus, Mercury and Saturn) have been restored, and few texts are sufficiently complete to provide useful information. However, the volume's concordance for all Carthaginian inscriptions and lists of Carthaginian inscriptions edited in journals but omitted from the corpora and L'Année Épigraphique is of great value.…”

“… 9 Not all was published in his lifetime, however; the most significant was Reynolds and Ward-Perkins, 1952, but see also Kenrick, 1986, and Ward-Perkins and Goodchild, 2003.…”
