Marcella Chelotti, « Il controllo dei decurioni sullo spazio pubblico in due città della regio secunda Augustea », Cahiers du Centre Gustave Glotz, ID : 10.3406/ccgg.2006.905
This paper puts together the epigraphic evidence on public places control by decuriones in two cities of the regio secunda Augustea, Aeclanum and Herdonia. Even if the epigraphic evidence is fortuitous, this study tries to highlight that, expecially in II and III centuries A. D., the municipal elites had exclusive use of public places, assigned by decuriones, for inscriptions celebrating themselves. We can, indeed, observe absence, in public places, of honorary inscriptions for those people that could be expression of social dynamics, as, for exemple, the Augustales.
