Abstract

CIL V 3924, now lost, was discovered in the nineteenth century near the Temple of Minerva in Marano di Valpolicella (VR), within the pagus Arusnatium. It represents the only known evidence of fanorum curatores – administrators of multiple extra-urban sanctuaries – whose office is considered a municipal curatorship extending across the entire territory of Verona. This study aims to further support the municipal nature of the Veronese cura by proposing new identifications of the curatores, based on the rediscovery of inscriptions bearing the same onomastic sequence, unearthed between 1891 and 1892 in the suburban area of Acqua Morta.
