PERIDRUMUS AND THE INSCRIPTION OF THE LIBER SANCTUS DEUS SANCTUARY IN VALCUM (PANNONIA SUPERIOR) / KESZTHELY (HUNGARY)

Summary/Abstract: A titulus sacer (CIL III 10904 = 4126), reused as a spolium, was discovered in Keszthely-Fenékpuszta (HU); it likely originally stood in a sacellum in the settlement of Valcum in Pannonia Superior, serving as its founding inscription. The inscription, once dated with the names of consuls and carved in the second half of the 3rd century based on the letter forms, contains the name of the deity (Liber Sanctus Deus) in a peculiar form; and its dedicator included a name in the text that is unique in the Roman Empire to date (Peridrumus), which can most likely be interpreted as a signum chosen and adopted by the dedicator himself.
