Der accensus Lucius Iunius Aeschylus in einer unveröffentlichten Inschrift aus Pergamon

Abstract

This article publishes a Latin inscription, which was found in the lower city of Pergamon already in 1973 and is dated to the 1st or 2nd century CE by its letterforms. It documents an accensus called Lucius Junius Aeschylus, who set up an enclosure and a marble altar. The accensus uses a demonstrative pronoun to refer to his superior, who had registered him with the aerarium (delatus ab eo). Besides the delatio, which was part of the usual appointment process and not a particular distinction, the article discusses the potential nature of the building and the question of the identity of the anonymous public official.
