description

An inscription discovered in Baetica and wrongly read by the publishers, was understood only late. The first reading, erroneous, gave rise to an impossible social situation of the Roman point of view : a slave would have had his statue on the forum of Lucurgentum ! More recent works allowed to correct this initial error and to restore the text, a testimony of the essay of upward social mobility of an emancipated slave, an evergete offering among others a statue of the god Ianus Pater.
