bibliography            

Slab of white marble found in Rhegion, now in the Istanbul archeological museum (inv. no. 4798; 57 x 52 x 8 cm). The relief depicts two crowns of the high-priest and the high-priestess.

When the goddess Nemesis was official of the sacred (i.e. eponymous official of Byzantion), Tiberius Claudius Dionysios was sacrificing official, the initiates (mystai) of Dionysos Kallon honored their own benefactors, Gaius Julius Italicus and Lollia Catulla, who were in the high-priesthoods.
