There is an edict of Caracalla, dated 216, found in Banasa (today in Morocco), mentioning an <i>indulgentia</i> because the city provided &quot;<i>caelestia animalia</i>&quot;. These &quot;celestial animals&quot; are most probably wild animals of the African fauna, captured and shipped to Rome for the amphitheatre. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is there any relation with Juno Caelestis? Was Carthago exempt from taxes under Septimius Severus because the city had provided animals or something of interest?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
