Titulus dedicatorius tessellis scriptus
Musivum
Date: 324-361
Edition(s): ICVR II, 4094; Liverani 2008, 159-161; Carletti 2008, 248-249; Gem 2013, 40-41
iustitiae sedes fidei domus aula pudoris
haec est quam cernis pietas quam possidet omnis
quae patris et filii virtutibus inclyta gaudet
auctoremque suum genitoris laudibus aequat

The inscription can be dated to ca. 324-325 according to the hypothesis that Liverani (ad loc. cit.) infers as preferable. Carletti (ad loc. cit.) still favours the identification of father and son as Constantine and Constantius II: an idea which leads the dating of the inscription to the reign of the latter.
