Abstract

This paper deals with two Roman inscriptions. The first one mentions the Emperor Probus, one of Diocletian's immediate predecessors, and the second one offers good reasons to assume that the names of Diocletian and Galerius were recorded on it. Both inscriptions were published but they never received adequate scholarly attention. Only three words are preserved from the second inscription, but still it is enough to assume that the tetrarchic emperors are mentioned on it. On the basis of analogies we can assume that the names of Diocletian and Galerius were recorded on the inscription.
