Thanks

I wish to thank the kindness of the staff of the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art in Paris. They provided me access to their collections despite the difficulties of COVID-19 during 2020. This research is based on my postdoctoral project Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship. Grant Agreement nº 101025799 (IMPACTVM. Mapping the impact of the Augustan colonies on the Early Roman Empire) at Sapienza Università di Roma. I have received funding support from my IdEx project RomAFRICA I (Initiatives d'excellence) at the Institut Ausonius (Bordeaux), and RomAFRICA II (Atracción de Talento CAM) at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. This article has also received numerous helpful comments from Gian Luca Gregori, Hernán González Bordas and Alex Mullen. Also, I want to thank to Sabine Lefebvre, Francesco Tecca and Giovanni Nacarato the help for doing the new autopsy and photos.
