Re-examination of a Latin inscription found in Xanthus (Lycia) in 2021, which was engraved in 378 AD on the attic blocks of the two-arched arch in the heart of the city. It was dedicated by the comes sacrarum largitionum Fl. Eutolmius Tatianus in honour of the emperors Valens, Gratian and Valentinian II on the occasion of Valens’ Quindecennalia. The author proposes a new reading of the Latin text in line 3. The Latin inscription is exceptional because Tatianus seems to have personally, and exceptionally for a comes sacrarum largitionum, dedicated the monument in a city that could have been his homeland. His name was erased after his condemnation in 393 AD.

Abstract
Re-examination of a Latin inscription found in Xanthus (Lycia) in 2021, which was engraved in 378 AD on the attic blocks of the two-arched arch in the heart of the city. It was dedicated by the comes sacrarum largitionum Fl. Eutolmius Tatianus in honour of the emperors Valens, Gratian and Valentinian II on the occasion of Valens’ Quindecennalia. The author proposes a new reading of the Latin text in line 3. The Latin inscription is exceptional because Tatianus seems to have personally, and exceptionally for a comes sacrarum largitionum, dedicated the monument in a city that could have been his homeland. His name was erased after his condemnation in 393 AD.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
