Commentary

Clearly from a composite base carrying statues of the emperor Claudius and his family. Antonia, eldest daughter of Claudius, (PIR2 A 0886) survived until AD 65 CE, but the inscription in her honour is likely to belong to the reign of Claudius 41-54 CE. She had estates in Egypt; see PIR Addenda
