Quote:The absence of the Dis manibus formula... all suggest a Julio-Claudian date to me.Just out of interest, how definite is the use, or not, of Dis Manibus in dating tombstones? I had believed it was almost universally 2nd century and later, but was surprised to see it on the Neronian tombstone of Classicianus in London (CIL 07, 00030).
