Abstract

This article aims to demonstrate that a Latin inscription from the Obizzi collection of antiquities offers interesting insights, despite its fragmentary state. In fact, although the lateral gaps hinder its interpretation, it is possible to formulate hypotheses for its integration based on the text still legible today. It is a slab dedicated to an Augustan deity along with a series of cult offerings. These last appear to attest a cult of public scale and visibility, as well as the probable original coexistence of multiple dedicants. The question of the inscription's provenance is also worthy of attention, since the slab is of uncertain origin.
