Abstract

The pa per ana lyses two almost identical sepulchral altars (arae) recently discovered as spolia in the structure of the Late Roman bulwark running parallel to the nor thern part of the early Roman city-walls of Asseria. Both altars are tripartite and monolithic of the type with frames. One was set up for Adiutor by his wife Sextilia Ingenua, and the other was anepigraphic. They can be roughly dated to the Late Principate, most probably to the second half of the second century AD or at the beginning of the third. With these recent findings, there are now eight sepulchral altars known from Asseria and its territory.
