Abstract:

 

F. Avcu presented two new milestones found in the northwest territory of Iuliopolis in the last volume of this journal. The text of the second of these milestones was not possible to read from the photos. An investigation of the stone concluded that the milestone was erected in the reign of Macrinus, mentioned together with caesar and his princeps Diadumenianus, sometime between October 217 and May 218. The translation of the inscription is: "With Good Fortune. Imperator Caesar Marcus Opellius Severus Macrinus Pius Felix Augustus, pontifex maximus, in the 1st tribunician power, consul designate for the 2nd time, father of the fatherland, proconsul, and Marcus Opellius Antoninus Diadumenianus, the most noble Caesar, his son, and princeps of his own. From Iuliopolis 7 (miles).".

 

F. Avcu bu derginin geçen sayısında Iuliopolis kentinin kuzeybatı teritoryumunda bulunmuş olan iki adet miltaşını sunmuştu. Bu miltaşlarından ikincisinin okuması fotoğraflardan yapılamamıştı. Taş üzerinde yapılan inceleme neticesinde, miltaşının Macrinus Dönemi’nde dikildiği ve yazıtta caesar ve kendisinin princeps’i olarak Diadumenianus’un da yer aldığı anlaşılmıştır. Miltaşının tarihi Ekim 217 ve Mayıs 218 arasındadır. Yazıtın çevirisi şöyledir:
İyi talihle! Imperator Caesar Marcus Opellius Severus Macrinus Pius Felix Augustus, en yüce rahip, halk hamiliğinin 1’incisinde, 2’inci konsüllüğü için seçilmiş, vatanın babası, proconsul, ve Marcus Opellius Antoninus Diadumenianus, en soylu Caesar, onun oğlu, ve kendisinin princeps’i. Iuliopolis’ten 7 (mil).
