The aim of this study is to deliver a historical and socio-economic overview of the Clusine territory in the Roman Age based on the epigraphic evidence. It is focused mainly on three unpublished texts kept in the Museo Civico Archeologico delle Acque at Chianciano Terme. The first one is a funerary ara dedicated by the vilicus to his wife. The second item is a fragment of a funerary inscription dedicated to a legionary veteran, who was also perhaps a curator veteranorum. The last document is a marble base with the cursus honorum of a procurator Augusti. The three texts suggest the presence in the ager Clusinus of landowners belonging to the ruling class during the first two centuries A.D. Obiettivo del presente contributo è quello di fornire un quadro storico e socio-economico del territorio chiusino in età romana, sulla base della documentazione epigrafica, pubblicando alcuni testi inediti o poco noti, conservati nel Museo Civico Archeologico delle Acque di Chianciano Terme. La prima iscrizione è incisa su di un’ara sepolcrale dedicata alla propria compagna dal vilicus di un personaggio attestato come seviro nel vicino territorio aretino. Il secondo documento analizzato è un frammento di lastra funeraria in travertino con iscrizione dedicata a un veterano di legione che probabilmente aveva rivestito il ruolo di curator veteranorum. L’ultimo testo è inciso su di una grossa base marmorea, destinata a sorreggere una statua. Vi si ricorda il cursus di un cavaliere vissuto tra I e II sec. d.C. I tre testi analizzati sembrano confermare la presenza nell’agro chiusino, nei primi due secoli dell’Impero, di proprietà terriere appartenenti a membri delle classi dirigenti locali o vicine.

The paper contains a brief presentation of the epigraphic collection gathered over forty years by Detlef Heikamp, a distinguished scholar of Renaissance art. Seven inscriptions, mostly coming from important collections formed between the 15th and the 18th century, were donated in 1994 to the Uffizi Museum in Florence. Among them there are also two fragments of the Acts of the Augustan ludi saeculares (AE 1988, 20-21). 222 other inscriptions, 170 of which unpublished, were then donated to the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome, where since 2017 they are in display in the Palazzo Zuccari, partly in the vestibule, and partly along the staircase. As a small sample some of the most significant of them are briefly presented: a fragment of calendar with the days from 14th to 17th of March, a fragment of the fasti of a priestly college, perhaps the Salii Palatini (AE 2000, 241), a new fragment of the commentarii fratrum arvalium with the record of supplicationes decreed by the Senate in early AD 67 [post nefar(iorum) con]silia detecta, a votive dedication concerning a cameo with Tiberius’ image offered in a sanctuary along with other objects, ten carmina epigraphica (seven in Latin, and three in Greek), a christian funerary inscription engraved on an amphora. KEYWORDS: Epigraphic collections, Detlef Heikamp donation.

Presentation of the International Digital Epigraphy Association (IDEA). On 9 May 2016 a group of core partners of the EAGLE project founded IDEA - The International Digital Epigraphy Association in order to maintain, perpetuate and improve this ground breaking project. IDEA represents the most fluid, lean, and efficient way to preserve EAGLE’s legacy and it will carry forward the work established by the EAGLE former partners. The goal of the association is to promote the use of advanced methodologies in research, study, enhancement, and publication of “written monuments”, beginning with those of antiquity, in order to enhance their knowledge at multiple levels of expertise, from that of specialists to that of the occasional tourist. Furthermore, scope of the association is to expand and enlarge the results of EAGLE providing a sustainability model to ensure the long-term maintenance of the project results and to pursue its original aims. IDEA first General Assembly was held in Pisa (Italy), on 28th September, 2016.
This paper presents some of the inscriptions found in Naples, in Piazza Nicola Amore, during construction of the new metro line. The excavation provides a rich documentation of imperial age: among other things, a temple on a podium with marble columns and, south of that, a building with portico are been identified. The marble cladding of the inner wall of the portico is composed of marble slabs inscribed in Greek, broken into about 800 fragments. The inscriptions record the names of several winners of Italikà Rhomaia Sebastà Isolympia, celebrated in honor of Augustus, in Naples, I to IV century. The lists have, as a fundamental element of dating, the name of Domitian, almost always erased, in the triple role of 'agonothetes', recipient of panegyrics and winner of contests. New inscriptions also mention as 'agonothetai' of Sebastà some famous members of the senatorial order: Manius Acilius Aviola, Marcus Arrecinus Clemens, Marcus Atilius Bradua, Aulus Didius Gallus Fabricius Veiento, Marcus Cornelius Nigrinus Curatius Maternus, Quintus Vibius Secundus.
