Funerary stele for Romula
Type of monument
Funerary stele.
Location
Kulu (Kinna): in a garden, in a pile of building-stones said to have been brought from Yaraşlı (with MAMA XI 228 [1957/8]).
Description
Tapered trachyte stele, with round projection above, incised with an equilateral maltese cross; back rough. Inscription in sunken panel.
Aurelius Aniketos, son of Gaius (?), set this up for his own wife Romula (?), in memoriam.
Commentary
The face of the stone is extremely worn and difficult to read; the name Ἀνίκητος in lines 2-4 is certain (cf. MAMA XI 242 [1957/31]: Altılar), but I have no great confidence in my readings Γαίου (lines 4-5) or Ῥωμυλῃ (lines 8-9).
