| description | In this contribution are presented two new milestones and five
grave steleai recorded during our epigraphic research in the
depot and the garden of Bursa Archaeology Museum. It is difficult to establish
where these milestones were erected, as the museum authorities are unable to
provide precise information concerning their provenances. One of the milestones
belongs to the reign of Diocletian-Maximian (293-305 A.D.) and gives a distance
of 5 miles. The name of the Emperor Maximian was erased from the inscription
following the damnatio memoriae after his death. The latter
milestone dates from the reign of Philip the Arab (244-249 A.D.) and records
the same distance of miles. Of the 5 funerary stones introduced, one is in
Latin and one is bilingual, while the others carry Greek inscriptions. Two of
the stelai (Nos. 4–5) date to the Late Hellenistic – Early
Roman period while the other three (Nos. 3, 6–7) date from the Roman Imperial
Age and are noteworthy from the onomastic point of view as they document two
new Thracian personal names corresponding to the demographic structure of the
region where the stelai were found. |
