A Revised Gravestone from Pisidian Apollonia
Abstract
A gravestone from Pisidian Apollonia, published, with mistakes, by Sterrett, has been revised here with some corrections and notes about its content. This gravestone, set up by Aurelius Asclepiades for his children Auxanon and Zoticus, dates back to the first half of the 3rd century AD; the names suggest that it was erected after Constitutio Antoniniana. The patterns engraved on the stone show that Asclepiades and his family earned their living by farming and fishing.
