Abstract

Gallo-Greek commemorations of dedications from the territory of the Volcae Arecomici. The paper deals with nine Gallo-Greek inscriptions from the territory of the Volcae Arecomici, which are all engraved on the abacus of a Doric capital. It is hypothesised that the use of the same kind of material support for all these inscriptions points to a common function for all the corresponding texts and that all nine inscriptions are to be regarded as religious dedications. A tentative analysis of the texts themselves is proposed to substantiate this claim. The comparatively long inscription RIG, G-163, from Beaucaire, raises the most difficult problems.
