Socrus non socra (App. Pr. 170). El dossier epigráfico hispánico

Abstract

The use of socra instead of socrus is common in the Latin epigraphy of the Principate. In the whole Roman Empire, textual evidences of socra/socera surpass the testimonies of socrus . In the light of the expression socrus non socra collected in the Appendix Probi , are discussed the five testimonies of the word socra known today in the Roman inscriptions of the Iberian Peninsula. The article includes a textual correction of a Roman stela from Campo Arcis (Requena, Valencia. Hispania citerior).
