Une épitaphe inédite de Mustis sur l’administration des domaines impériaux en Afrique du Nord au début du IIe siècle apr. J.-C.

Abstract

In 2011, the epitaph of a man called Marcus Ulpinus Fortunatus was discovered in the necropolis of Mustis. He was a freedman of Emperor Trajan and participated in the management of imperial possessions as a procurator. The name of his wife, Coelia Thallussa, allows us to assume that the couple was of Italian origin. The discovery of the epitaph in Mustis suggests that this city may have housed an administrative service which initially was subordinated to a procurator based in Carthage and to the dismemberment of the imperial administration of the beginning of the second century AD.
