This inscription is said to have been found near the Asopos ; and it is
clear that it belongs to the elaborate gateway by which the road from
the coast and the Maeander valley entered the city immediately after
crossing the Asopos. Fellows says that from the bridge over the Asopos
' a paved road leads to a triple-arched entrance to the city.'
In CIG 3949 the inscription is attributed to Nero on account of the
name of the imperial freedman; but the length of the gap suits the
above restoration, and the titulature is more characteristic of Domitian.
A freedman of Claudius might still be acting under Domitian.
