Votive altar in white limestone (H. 0.54 Br. 0.215-0.26 D. 0.165-0.21). Inv. No. 15651.

Deo in[victo] / miles piu[s].

The attribute pius (cf. No. 1234) had been common since the reign of the Emperor Antoninus Pius, but the corresponding εὐσεβής is rare in inscriptions (IG XIV 472; CIL X 7064; A. Brühl in MEFR LVIII, 1956, 127ff). Cf. CIMRM I No. 15.
