Does anyone have access to CIL or could pop into the library at Pompeii to look something up?Living in the outback of Western Australia we cannot get access to good libraries of Pompeii material.
We have had a request for the CIL number or AE or other reference for the inscription on the plaque on Tomb 17 ES at Porta Nocera: Tomb of C. Cuspius Cyrus, C. Cuspius Salvius and Vesuia Iucunda on the South East side of the Via delle Tombe.
The inscription is
C CUSPIO CYRO
MAG PAG AUG FEL SUB URB
VESUVIAE IUCUNDAE UXOR
C CUSPIO C L SALVIO
MAG PAG AUG FEL SUB URB
The tomb was excavated 1955 and the details were published in Un Impegno per Pompeii by Dott d'Ambrosio in 1983. We have had a look at our copy but there is no CIL quoted.
With these dates we assume any CIL would be in a supplement, and presumably be CIL X rather than CIL IV.
Can you help please.
many thanks
