Commentary

Line 1: The genitive singular suggests either a dedication to some attribute of a single Augustus, or a monument/image of one. A restoration Augusti[s] would be possible, but a reference to plural Augusti seems less probable at the apparent date of this text.

For the proconsul see RE Suppl. 14 (1974) 76 s.v. Bruttidius; this is so far the only known reference to him.
