| dc.description | Mid-first century BC. Minturnae, One of a group of 29 inscriptions set up in or near the forum at Minturnae by magistri of various religious cults, including those of Mercury Felix, Venus and Ceres. All are identical in form and inscribed on cippi of local tufa (which are the gifts referred to at the beginning of the inscription). These may have acted as altars for libations and ceremonies connected with these cults, none of which are known to have had a temple at Minturnae. The vast majority have 12 names placed in three groups, possibly reflecting a geographical distribution between three regions of the city. Like most other colleges of magistri founded in Italy, the lists are composed mainly of slaves owned by trade associations, notable the socii salinatores (association of salt manufacturers) and the socii picarii (association of pitch makers).
