Large monolithic statue base with a hole to support the statue. The description of this man’s role as “ducenarian” indicates that he was paid 200,000 sesterces and was likely an imperial procurator.
For good fortune! The Baccheion (bakcheion) before the city (pro poleōs) honored Titus Aelius Magnus, the most outstanding ducenarian, foremost man of the city, high-priest of the gladiators for two terms, and their own revealer of sacred things (hierophantēs), on account of his honor and benefaction. Prosper!
