bibliography            

Small votive altar of marble, found at the sanctuary of Hercules Victor in Tibur. M. Cerellius Iazemis, a citizen of Ostia, was not only president for life of the (Ostian) baker’s association but he also identifies himself as a codicarius involved in the boat transport of goods on the Tiber and as a grain merchant. Now in Rome, Museo Nazionale Romano, Terme di Diocleziano (inv. 72472).

Marcus Caerellius Iazemis, president of the bakers (pistores) for the third time and for life, boatman, and also a grain merchant gave this as a gift to Hercules Invictor (“Unconquered”) in fulfilment of a vow.
