Erneut zu AE 1979,33

Abstract

A different dating of the columbarium inscription AE 1979, 33 is proposed. The various possibilities of interpreting the inscription are discussed and the connection of Idumaeus, a slave belonging to Livia and Tiberius, to Herod the Great and/or his sister Salome, as stated by Heinrich Chantraine, is questioned.
