<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roma, post: 7722717, member: 93393&quot;]MATRI stands for matri, not for mater, first is dative, the second is nominative. </p><p>Often there are altars who celebrate an augusta as matri castrorvm because she proceeded to rebuild or renewal a camp or barracks. The pic below show an altar in Ostia placed in honour of Julia domna because made some works in the vigiles’ barracks. </p><p>As you can see engravers errors were present on marbles also, here you can notice how they wrote MATRI AVGVST, and then they added a small “I” above. They were so frequent not only in officials marbles. Below always from the vigiles’ barracks another altar issued for gordianus with a similar error.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1323838[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1323839[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
