100 B.C.-68

Greek
State of Preservation:
Partial
Genre:
  • Secular history (general)
Remarks:
This acephalous piece traces how the Roman emperors came to be called Caesars and therefore discusses the genealogy of Julius Caesar. Lambros (1904) prefers an imperial date, but style and theme suggest a late antique or Byzantine date.
