A.D.), where the author, a certain Severus, alludes to Herodotus I 44, 2, so that he may express his disappointment at the recipient.

The recorded inscriptions are all from Zonguldak province (Eastern Bithynia), which is where the ancient cities of Herakleia Pontike and Tieion/Tios are located. So far, twenty-two new inscriptions held by the Museum have been published in previous papers. In the present paper, one honorary and four new grave inscriptions of the Roman imperial period - found in the districts of Alapli, Devrek, Gokcebey, and Eregli, all in Zonguldak province - are presented. Their importance lies in the new information they provide on the social history and prosopography of Herakleia Pontike and Tios/Tieion as well as the ethnicity and the status of individuals in Roman Bithynia.

This article reexamines the inscription in light of other epigraphic evidence and corrects a longstanding mistake in historical reconstructions of the late-Antonine dynasty. It shows that the woman known as Marcia the powerful courtier and ostensible Christian-sympathizer was not the same as the woman honored on the inscription. They were two different women entirely, as the inscription’s nomenclature, status indication, and date indicate. The Marcia Aurelia Ceionia Demetrias honored on the inscription was a local elite likely married to the imperial freedman who was also honored with her as a civic benefactor in ancient Anagnia (CIL X 5917).","PeriodicalId":30714,"journal":{"name":"TYCHE - Contributions to Ancient History Papyrology and Epigraphy","volume":"31 1","pages":"14-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48888987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A detailed overview of its stylistic and semantic features reveals how the formula is to be counted among those rhetorical devices of the magic act that enhanced its dramatic force.
