Altar of a legionary legate from Apulum

TNMM 1856 ↔ CIMRM 1968

"Albae Iuliae haud procul a templi altera turri lapis erutus, 1725". The slab certainly comes from the Cathedral which had two belfries. There is therefore a possibility that it should come from Mureș Port but the title of the dedicator makes it more probable that it proveniates from the vicus.

CIL III 1111; MMM II No. 302.

C. Caerellius Sabinus was a legatus between 183–185 A.D.
