Physical description
Support
- Description
- A large fragment of a thick slab of compact grey limestone, with veins and crystalline structure. The slab is intact on the left and at the top. The upper left corner is broken, and the face along the upper edge has suffered some chipping and damage.The stone is broken off below and to the right. The preserved top and left sides have straight but only roughly chiselled finish. The face has been polished smooth. It is possible that the damage / hole in the left end of the top side is a damaged clamp hole. The rear is uneven and only very roughly worked, but never to a flat face, excpet perhaps for a narrow margin down the intact left rear edge and along the top rear. Two modern brackets for hanging the stone on a wall have been fixed to the rear face at some time since original discovery, by drilling screws into the rear face. The stone was originally wider than 43 cm (the total maximum preserved width), but the widest part of the surviving face is only 40cm.

Provenance
- Place of origin
- Centuripae
- Provenance found
- Said originally to be found at the locality of Acquamara, but seems likely to have come from the area thought to be that of the anicent agora / forum, slightly north of the location of the so-called Augustalia. The piece was found by a private individual in 1962, and passed into private hands. It is now in the custody of the Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali e Ambientali di Catania, and temporarily on display at the Centuripe museum (September 2024).

Date
Second or earlier first century BCE, primarily on palaeographic grounds (Manganaro various proposed dates between the end of 2nd century BCE and end of 1st century BCE (Manganaro 1963 and Cebeillac Gervasoni suggest post 36 BCE, assuming that line 17 implies the status of Centuripe as Latin municipium, which seems doubtful); Dubois, IGDS, suggests early 2nd century).
