    Una nuova dedica a Ercole da un manoscritto di Bonifacius Amerbach

    No full text
    The manuscript C VI a 77, once belonged to the XVIth century humanist Bonifacius Amerbach and now preserved in the Universitätsbibliothek Basel, is not a high quality epigraphic manuscript, but includes at least a couple of Roman inscriptions elsewhere unknown. One of them, already published in the previous years, is a dedication to Iuppiter Optimus Maximus set by an eques singularis; the other one is a dedication to Hercules Invictus – here published for the first time - set, when he was an urban praetor, by L. Turranius Venustus Gratianus, member of a well known senatorial family of the III/IV century AD
