comprised within this interval; in prosecuting which, a marked 
coincidence was ascertained in the person of one of them with 
the fact which had been elicited from Strabo respecting the 
subordination of Neapolis to Samos, and, therefore, the claim 
of the tutelary of the latter to worship in the former. 
It was ascertained on the authority of a Phrygian in- 
scription, as well as of a coin of Karia, that the Augusta here 
referred to, namely, Fulvia Plautilla, the consort of Caracalla, 
had been deified during her life by the Greeks, under the 
name of Néa”Hoa, and that in an especial manner, she having 
been mentioned as such without the accompaniments of either 
her family name or her imperial title. 
It was next proved, concurrently with an explanation of 
the cause, that the members of the family of Septimius Se- 
verus had been honoured in an especial degree by the Grecian 
communities. 
From all these premises a twofold conclusion was deduced ; 
firstly, that Plautilla, in her Herzan impersonation, was the 
subject of the anaglyph: secondly, that the offering made by 
Attikés was of the Charisterial class. 
This furnished sufficient grounds for the restoration of the 
lost members of the epigraphs: viz., of the first line, by the 
introduction of the Herzan title; of the second, by its confir- 
mation of a former conclusion, deduced from more general 
considerations, as to the Charisterial import. 
The evidence of coins which had been struck in the early 
part of Plautilla’s career was next interrogated, and found to 
be corroborative of this inference, as well from the general 
contour of the features, as the special type of the coiffure. 
From a combination of all these evidences, the following 
restoration of the titulus was proposed :
