Abstract
In the Journal of Roman Studies, XL, 1950, 88–90, Mr. S. Applebaum published a number of inscriptions from Cyrene recording Hadrian's work in restoring the city after the devastation caused by the Jewish revolt late in Trajan's reign. One of these (D 1) consists of fragments of an inscription from the Caesareum, which Mr. Applebaum read as follows:—[– –DIVI N]ER[V]AE NE[POS] TRAI[AN]VS H[ADRIANVS] AVGV[STVS – –]/TP I[I COS] II BASILIC[AM – –]The inscription was carved on the re-used limestone blocks of the Doric architrave which crowned the longitudinal porticos of the Basilica. But traces of the earlier, erased inscription are still visible in several places between the letters of the inscription now under discussion, and it is in the light of this fact, which was not noticed by Mr. Applebaum, that two alterations are here suggested in his reading of the inscription.
