In questo sesto supplemento al corpus delle iscrizioni romane di Verona e del suo territorio si pubblicano testi inediti e riscoperte di epigrafi già note. Il primo contributo presenta la riscoperta di una dedica a Giove Ottimo Massimo da Mazzano di Negrar (CIL, V, 3903) e la pubblicazione di un nuovo frammento di iscrizione funeraria proveniente dallo stesso luogo. Il secondo esamina un nuovo altare con dedica a Minerva dal Giardino Giusti. Il terzo riguarda la pubblicazione di due lettere di bronzo dai magazzini del Museo Archeologico al Teatro Romano di Verona. Nel quarto l’autore ripubblica diverse iscrizioni, talvolta frammentarie, appartenenti a monumenti funerari da Verona (CIL, V, 3354, 3857, 8851; SI, 646). Gli ultimi due contributi riguardano, infine, la riscoperta di una stele funeraria da Cerea non vista da Theodor Mommsen ed erroneamente edita due volte (CIL, V, 3718, 8873) e un nuovo frammento di stele funeraria dall’area di San Zeno a Verona.

The first contribution analyses a previously unknown stele preserved in the Archaeological Museum at the Roman Theatre; this monument bears a dedication to a woman, Cornelia Salvia, freedwoman of her companion M. Cornelius Favor. The second contribution examines an inscribed fragment known toTheodor Mommsen only through the manuscript tradition (CIL, V, 3838), the reading of which can now be improved through autopsy. The third contribution concerns a new fragment of a funerary inscription walled up outside the church of San Zeno in Oratorio which bears the indication
of a pedatura. In the following two notes, one can respectively find the re-edition of CIL, V, 3796, a fragment known to Mommsen only through the antiquarian tradition, and the discovery of a new fragment in the church of Ognissanti in Marzana, which completes another fragment bearing the name of a freedwoman reused in the same church (SI 640). The sixth contribution deals with two fragments of funerary stelae preserved in the Archaeological Museum at the Roman Theatre.
The last contribution examines two fragments of architrave reused in the church of San Fidenzio in Novaglie (CIL, V, 3698 and AE 2005, 627), published separately but actually belonging to the same funerary monument which M. Servilius Messius made for himself and his family.

Despite the scarcity and the difficulty of interpretation linked to the sources, the study wants to show how – contrary to the traditional view that domestic violence spread more in the monarchical and republican period – a re-reading of the historiographical, epigraphic and legal evidences related to the theme could suggest its diffusion also in a subsequent period.

COORDINATOR: S. Piacentin
Through the detailed analysis of two case studies, this contribution aims to explore the dimension of public and private economic power held by imperial women during the 4th century AD. In particular, the focus is on the exemplum of Marina Severa, who was exiled and repudiated by her husband, the emperor Valentinian I, due to her involvement in a controversial fraudulent investment (Mal. 339, 20-341; Chron. Pasch. 287, 369, p. 559). The second exemplum concerns Domnica, the wife of the emperor Valens, who distinguished herself for her positive role in state finances, from which she would draw to protect the city of Constantinople (Jord. Rom. 314; Socr. HE V.1.3; Soz., HE VII.1.2). This study offers the opportunity to reflect on the issue of the agency of the Augustae, especially concerning economic matters, during a century marked by profound social, economic, cultural, and religious changes.
History-Changing Prophecies: Prophecy and Oracles that Did or Would Have Changed History – Real, Fictitious, and Fiction, 2024
Prophecy in Roman empire had a very strong influence: Lucian of Samosata, in his work Alexander, ... more Prophecy in Roman empire had a very strong influence: Lucian of Samosata, in his work Alexander, or the False Prophet, pilloried the entire process of the production and the diffusion of these oracles. The ones given to Marcus Sedatius Severianus, governor of Cappadocia, at the time of the Parthian Wars in the mid-second century, sum up the religiosity and the naivety of Roman people. This is not to say that the Romans did not take the issue seriously: Septimius Severus, learned the news of Pertinax's death, took care to create and spread stories and prophecies to prepare for his rise to power: at Apamea in Syria, Zeus Belos, by quoting Homer, promised the empire to him, while he was still a private citizen (D.C. 79 [78].8.5). In other words, his march was not only military, but religious and cultural: at the height of the civil wars, a veritable corpus, made up of dreams, signs and prophecies, accompanied the name of Severus throughout the provinces (D.C.75 [74]. 3). Their meaning and references may reveal the image that the emperor wanted to give of himself even before he became emperor. Likely, they were mentioned in his Autobiography and, especially, by Cassius Dio in his work on Septimius Severus’ dreams and signs (βιβλίον τι περὶ τῶν ὀνειράτων καὶ τῶν σημείων). This practice is certainly not limited to the Severans and seems to involve women who, through their dreams or as protagonists of male dreams, announced and prepared imperial successions. Take for instance Basilina’s dream (Zon. 13. 10. 2-3) in which she seemed to bore Achilles. Finally, one can investigate the creation and dissemination by pretenders to the throne of these private stories, whether dreams or prophecies, and their reception by historians. So, one might question the prophecies that in Dio's narration often mark the adventus of the various emperors, their value for the Severan historian and their relation to the historian's time, in search of patterns and trends. Secondly, one might wonder about the omina and the dreams that in the imperial age prepared imperial successions, dwelling on the female element as author of the dream or element of the dream itself.
