Tbis Inscription records the consecration of a 
STOA, and all things belonging to it, to Tiberius 
Claudius Ccesar Germanicusy the emperor, and to 
Julia Augusta Agrippina, his wife, and their 
children, and to Minerva of Ilium. The reason 
why the Emperor Claudius and his children were 
honoured by the Ilienses, is given by Sueto- 
>'ius and by Tacitus*. Eckhel mentions a fane 
consecrated to the Iliean Minerva, as having 
existed in the Pagus Iliensium, which Alexander 
adorned after his victory at Granicus^. Arrian 
states merely the offerings to Minerva of Ilium, 
(o) " Iliensibus Imperator Claudius tributa in perpetuum reraisit, 
oratore Nerone Caesare." EckJtel, Doctrma Num. Vet. vol. II. p. 483.
