TNMM 994 ↔ CIMRM 411 & 412
Triangular marble slab (H. 0.39 Br. 0.30 D. 0.03), found in the Forum of Nerva. Fourth century. Museo Capitolino.
In the centre a primitive figure of Sol in radiate crown. He lifts his r.h. and in the l.h. he probably holds a globe. He is dressed in a long dress. Under him a head (Luna?). On the edges an inscription:
CIMRM 412
L.H. 0.018.
[Si]imulacrum restitu/tum deo Soli invicto / [s]acratis speleus patet ap .....
As Paribeni remarks, one can also read sacratis without any addition, so that the translation reads "the cave is open to the initiated". His reconstruction of the last words into a possible pater et apparatores sound less plausible. Probably 4th cent.
