Надгробна стела на Гаиус Петрикиус Урбанус, ветеран от XI Клаудиев легион, намера в канебето на Дуросторум /Силистра/

Résumé

Among the six Late Antique structures studied in 2022 in the canabae of Durostorum (Silistra), along Drastar Street (figs. 1, 2), we find a limestone stele measuring 126 × 86 × 26 cm, which was placed as a threshold at the entrance of a building dating from the late 4th to the 5th centuries (figs. 3, 7, 13). On it, we can read an epitaph that can be dated to the end of the 2nd or the beginning of the 3rd century. The English translation is: “To the Manes! Gaius Petricius Urbanus, a veteran of the Legio XI Claudia, Marcus Aurelius Florus, custos armorum (?) of the same legion, [erected this monument] for his very pious father.” On the right side of the plaque, under the right paw of the lion, a tabula ansata is formed with the inscription VAE (fig. 6), meaning “Misfortune!” or “Alas!” In parallel, at the same level on the left side of the plaque a similar tabula ansata bears the inscription HAVE (fig. 7), a variant of AVE, meaning “Greetings!” or “Hail!” In the pediment, there is a high relief bust portrait of the veteran, flanked by two lions. The iconography and style of execution also point towards a work from the time of the Severan dynasty. In Silistra, seven similar stelai have been discovered, with one of them being a semi-finished product. This suggests the presence of a local workshop producing such monuments.
