The restorations are by Mommsen. This is the only inscription 

 that can be assigned indubitably to Vespasian's brother, who is often 

 confused with T. Flavius Sabinus. Unfortunately it tells ub little 

 that is new. 



Reate Vespasiauus natus est in Sabinis ultra Reate vico modico. 

 etc. Suet. Vesp. 2; p. 225, 1. 10. 



That Vespasian did not forget his native district is shown by 

 the fact that the name of Reate appears in no less than five inscrip- 

 tions connected with the settling of colonists by the emperor after 

 the earlier wars of this reign. C. I. L. X, 4682; 4683; 4684; 4685; 

 4689. _____ 



Caenis. Post uxoris excessum Caenidem, Antoniae libertam et 

 a manu, dilectam quondam sibi revocavit in contubernium habuitque 

 etiam imperator paene iustae uxoris loco. Suet. Vesp. 3; p. 226, 1. 2.

By the caprice of history not only this inscription to Vespasian's 

 concubine has been preserved, but also an inscription to Flavia 

 Helpis, her maid.

Licinius Mucianus. Suet. Vesp. 6; 13; p. 229, 1. 5; p. 231, 1. 29. 

 We may assign his third consulship definitely to the year 72 A. D. 

 C. I. L. VI 2016; 2053. The statement of Pliny (XII § 9; XIII 

 S 88) that Mucianus was legate of Lycia is confirmed and the in- 

 cumbency fixed under Nero by an inscription quoted in the Bull.
