Roman Bronze Epigraphic Dedicatory PlaqueLate 2nd-early 3rd century AD A dedicatory plaque, rectangular with trapezoidal tabs, with impressed text in Roman capitals: I(ovi) O(ptimo) M(aximo) DOL(icheno) / IVNON(i) REGI(nae) / V[a]LER(ia) INGEN / VA EX IVSSO / DEI POSVIT with punched points between pairs of letters in the bottom row and elsewhere To Jupiter Best and Greatest Dolichenus and to Queen Juno, Valeria Ingenua set (this) up at the command of the god. 16 grams, 98 mm. (4"). Ex Riley collection, UK; found North-East England. Jupiter Dolichenus was popular in the late 2nd-early 3rd century AD in Britain, conflated with Rome`s principal divinity, Jupiter Optimus Maximus, whose consort was Juno Regina (`the Queen`) referred to in this text. The dedicator of the plaque is a woman. The shape of the plaque, `tabula ansata`, is typical of such plaques fixed on other objects, frequently stone. The unusual shape of the `L` reflects contemporary cursive writing, though all the other letter forms follow monumental forms; the minor mistake of `iusso` for `iussu` is common in ancient inscriptions.[No Reserve]Fine condition, repaired. Very rare.Starting Price: £5
