Officina di <i>IG</i> XIV² – Civic Inscriptions from Hellenistic Kephaloidion

This study delves into the only three Hellenistic civic inscriptions of Kephaloidion (modern Cefalù), a secondary harbour in northern Sicily. The inscriptions, despite their fragmentary nature, reveal unique linguistic and historical features that align with regional trends, including the role of civic officials. Two of these inscriptions are rather early examples of civic epigraphy in Kephaloidion, and appear to be dedications of local officials with some unique features. The third one, a statue base honouring a Roman individual of the gens Domitia , may be one of the oldest examples of honorific epigraphy for a provincial governor in Sicily, if identified with L. Domitius Ahenobarbus (pr. 97 BC).
