[1] This is one of several statue bases erected for Julius Caesar by the Athenians (see IG II² 3222 with notes). The formula seems to indicate a date in 48 BC, after his victory at the Battle of Pharsalos on 9 August, but before his reappointment as dictator in October. The stone has been reworked for some secondary use, resulting in the loss of the right half, the top surface, and the first line of text.
