- Abstract
This article introduces the Hellenic honorific inscription on a pedestal found in 2018 in the excavation of the ancient city of Blaundos, within the borders of the village of Sülümenli in the Ulubey district of Uşak province. The pedestal is carved with a border frame around it and was unearthed in the excavation of the main street of the city. It bears an inscription of thirty lines on its front face and a Ludus Duodecim (XII) Scriptorum on its back face, which is understood to have been made later. The inscription provides information about a man named Tiberius Claudius Lucius, a builder, patriot, and benefactor of the city as well as a priest of Dionysos Kathegemon. Further, it records significant information concerning the construction activities he undertook. The erection of the statue was supervised by his nephew Aurelius Claudius Alexandros, of equestrian rank, and the finalization of this task together with the various construction activities openly stated in the inscription were supervised by Aurelius Claudius Alexandros who has the same name as his father, the nephew of Lucius. This inscription is significant for recording information about both the military titles and construction activities in the city. It is dated after AD 212 because of the name Aurelius.
