translation(s)

L. 1 Conservatori could also be restored Campestri, cf. IMS 03,++ 2, 7; AE 1994, 1446. The dedicant can be identified with T. Aurelius Marcus, a veteran who set up an altar that is built into the wall of the village church in Prilipac, 3.5 km to the north of Virovo, as well as with the decurio municipii who died in Salona according to the inscription on his funerary monument set up by his sons in the village of Vranjani. All three find-spots are located within a 15 kilometre radius, in the environs of Požega. T. Aurelius Marcus was a Romanized native who received citizenship under Marcus Aurelius, probably after completing military service in the cohors II Aurelia Delmatarum, stationed near present-day Čačak (35 kilometres to the east from Požega). In the last years of Marcus Aurelius’ reign the tribune of this cohort was Tib. Claudius Gallus, later adlected by Septimius Severus to the Senate. The senator had an estate in the vicinity of Virovo as is indicated by the funerary inscription of his libertus from Arilje.
