Commentary

Robinson (art.cit) suggested that the Emperor describe here was probably Claudius; Sijpesteijn, art. cit. showed that it was Nero.

Line 9: Robinson's reading would imply Nero's ninth tribunician power, in 62 CE: so Sijpesteijn, art. cit. But the reading here would suggest the first year of his reign, the date of most of the dated markers of Nero. It should be noted that Αὐτοκράτωρ normally precedes ῦπατος; but the listing of Nero's offices in this series is not entirely consistent: cf A.50, A.68, M.172, which only give the title imperator/Αὐτοκράτωρ.

One of the boundary markers put up under Nero: A.50, A.68, C.434, C.435, C.748, M.123, M.124, M.125, M.143, M.153, M.172, M.173, M.251.
