Summary

[edit]
Description

In the attic of the Arch of Septimius Severus, ILS 425 (= CIL 6.1033 = CIL 6.31230 = CIL 6.36881) is visible.

Imp(eratori) Caes(ari) Lucio Septimio M(arci) fil(io) Severo Pio Pertinaci Aug(usto) patri patriae Parthico Arabico et / Parthico Adiabenico pontific(i) maximo tribunic(ia) potest(ate) XI imp(eratori) XI co(n)s(uli) III proco(n)s(uli) et / Imp(eratori) Caes(ari) M(arco) Aurelio L(uci) fil(io) Antonino Aug(usto) Pio Felici tribunic(ia) potest(ate) VI co(n)s(uli) proco(n)s(uli) p(atri) p(atriae) et / P(ublio) Septimio Getae nobiliss(imo) Caesari / / ob rem publicam restitutam imperiumque populi Romani propagatum / insignibus virtutibus eorum domi forisque s(enatus) p(opulus)q(ue) R(omanus)

After Caracalla killed his younger brother Geta, he had his name erased from the arch and replaced it with the phrase optimis fortissimissque principibus. The inscription states that the arch is in honor for the Severan triumphs at home (defeating rival claimants to the purple) and abroad (against the Parthians and others).
