The Monumental Inscription of El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete, Spain) and the Origin of an Epigraph
Abstract
We explain the current status of the research on a monumental inscription discovered in El Tolmo de Minateda (Hellín, Albacete), which is almost certainly the old city of Ilunum. The inscription, which dates back to the end of the year 9 BC, refers to some sort of construction, possibly a wall and a gate. This was sponsored by the Emperor Augustus himself, managed by the legate of the province Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, and financed by the first duumviri of the city.
