Limestone altar base found in a garden in Dinar (135 x 88 [top] - 66 [shaft] x ca. 64 cm). On the imperial freedman M. Aurelius Zosimos, see PIR² I 1640 (cf. IGR IV 749).
The Council, the People, and the Roman settlers honored M. Aurelius Zosimos, freedman of the Augusti, the benefactor of the city (polis). The civic leaders (archons) around M. Aurelianus Dorotheos — who was foremost among the civic leaders for the second time — arranged for the erection of the statue.
