Transliterations on Places on

[1] This base supported a statue of a Roman emperor (l. 1). Prosopography suggests that this should be one of the Flavians or Trajan. Lucius Flavius Flamma is attested ca. 80-90 AD as an archon, hoplite general, and priest of Zeus Boulaios and Athena Boulaia (IG II² 3543-3544). His Latin cognomen suggests that he was a Roman who had been granted Athenian citizenship. Flavianus and Eukles also appear in Agora XVIII 481, a very fragmentary statue base, perhaps erected on the same occasion.
