Marble plaque. This is either a dedication plaque for the building as a whole or for an altar or other structure within the building of the Augustales.

Sacred to Augustus. Aulus Lucius Proculus and Aulus Lucius Julianus, sons of Aulus from the Menenian voting tribe, have from their own resources provided a feast for the councillors (decurions) and the members of the Augustales at the dedication.
