Transliterations on Places on

[1] This base for a statue of the emperor Augustus (r. 31 BC – AD 14) was erected sometime after he received the title Augustus in 27 BC. The god is his adoptive father Julius Caesar, who was deified following his death in 44 BC. There is no information about its provenance, although it may be significant that it is made from Eleusinian stone. On Augustus and Athens, see SEG 29.168 with notes.
