description This paper presents a milestone (no. 1) found in Doğandere Village which lies between Nallıhan and Mudurnu (ancient Modrene) and several recently discovered Roman and Byzantine inscriptions (No. 2-11) from Çayırhan (ancient Juliopolis), Ankara. The milestone dating to 285-286 is important for it stands on the northern route to Claudiopolis. It was erected by Tryfonianus, the governor of Pontus, whose name was attested for the first time in this inscription. The excavations in the Byzantine necropolis of Juliopolis revealed new inscriptions including three Roman grave stones used as building blocks at a later period. No. 2 is erected by a certain Antonius for his freedman Chariton. In no. 3 Apolaustos and Claudia built a tomb foe their parents. No. 4 is fragmentary inscription possibly erected for a man by his wife and son. Nos. 5-11 are Byzantine funerary inscriptions. No. 5 is a grave stone for coppersmith Platon, no. 6 for deaconess Athenoclia, no. 7 for a certain Masgaris, no. 8 for spouses Lykos and Photine, no. 9 for priest Eutychios.
