Roman Marble Column Fragment with Latin Inscription
3rd century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £1,430
Provincial columnar fragment with inscription in rustic capitals: 'GENI / FAVORIS /IHEDONE / I CARISSIMO / FECIT' [With the favour of the Genius Hedone made it for the dearest]; traces of red pigment. 1.81 kg, 12 cm
Private collection, 2005. This lot is accompanied by an illustrated lot declaration signed by the Head of the Antiquities Department, Dr Raffaele D'Amato.
The dedicatory inscription seems to refer to a funerary monument erected by a certain Hedone for a loved one (probably her husband). It is a late inscription which justifies the use of the genitive and not the ablative for GENI FAVORIS (instead of GENII FAVORE). Hedone is a Greek name which, however, occurs in Italic sepulchral inscriptions. -
