CIL, X 6309 UNA ISCRIZIONE TERRACINESE NEL MUSEO ARCHEOLOGICO DI FIRENZE

Abstract

Among the sketches in Baldassarre Peruzzi’s travel diary (taccuino dei viaggi), sheet 404A verso
contains a copy of CIL, X 6309, a marble epistyle, part of an aedicula consecrated between 14 and
29 AD by M. Iunius C.f. Gal(eria) Proculus to Tiberius and Livia in Terracina, and restored some
decades later by Pompeia Q.f. Trebulla. The inscription, deemed lost until few years ago, is now at
the Museo Archeologico in Florence (MAF). Such inscription was brought to Florence between the
end of XVIth century and the beginning of XVIIth century, together with the columns of the aedicula,
to be used in the construction of the Cappella dei Principi. The first engraved text was erased as the
monument was being restored. At that time, a new inscription was carved under the previous one, to
update and correct the name of Livia, diva since 42 AD.
