commentary
The preserved consular fasti cover the years 39-34 and 31-28 BCE. The material and lettering of the list makes it almost certain that these are part of the same monumental display of the calendar and local aedilician and duumviral fasti (for which see ISic000662), but it is not possible to connect them directly. Ruck argues that the calendar post-dates 8 BCE, but is probably Augustan; she also argues that the preserved consular fragments belong to a single column, with the lower fragment marking the end of a column. Consequently at least one more column must have existed, to carry the consuls down to at least 8 BCE. But whether these fasti stood on the same surface as the calendar or another part of the underlying monument is unknown.
