Inscription about the Public Vineyard.

75 CE.
CIL VI 933 = CIL VI 31208 = ILS 249.
Inv. No. NCE 2383.

Rome, Capitoline Museums, Palazzo Nuovo, Atrium
(Roma, Musei capitolini, Palazzo Nuovo, Atrio).

Origin:
Rome, Via Ardeatina, in front of the bastion of Sangallo.
Description:
The inscription was discovered along the Via Ardeatina, and allows us to identify the place where the Vinalia Publica (a wine festival linked to Ardea and the myth of Mezentius) was celebrated on April 23rd. Vespasian’s reclamation of this area in 75 CE demonstrates his interest in the archaic traditions of Rome.

CIL VI 933 = CIL VI 31208 = ILS 249
