Date

Although earlier studies dated to before 19 BCE, Ruck demonstrates that the calendar must be after 8 BCE (Augustus replaces Sextilis), and probably Augustan rather than Tiberian. (8 BC – AD 14)
Evidence
textual-context

Text type

calendar; list of magistrates

commentary

The local fasti (aediles and dummvirs) appeared on either side of a Roman calendar. The text should have been directly associated with the consular fasti found in the same context (ISic000624), but they do not formally connect and may have sat elsewhere on the same monument. [text in preparation]
