This paper offers a new reading of an inscription on a marble base from the municipium of Carsulae (Regio VI).
It concerns the dedication of two statuettes to Jupiter Optimus
Maximus by eight ingenuous people belonging to the local aristocracy. They also offered
some ludi.
The initiative bears testimony to the climate of fervour typical of this settlement as well
as other municipia in central Italy during the Augustan age.
The base offers the only sacred inscription which can be attributed to the
urban area of Carsulae and one of the earliest records of the staging of ludi in the region.
