Vibius Pupidius son <strong>of</strong> Vibius meddix tuticus commissioned the construction <strong>of</strong><br />

this colonnade. He himself approved it.<br />

The colonnade has been tentatively identified as the tufa portico on the southern side <strong>of</strong><br />

the Forum <strong>of</strong> Pompeii. On this basis, the text is usually dated to the first half <strong>of</strong> the<br />

second century BC. Note that a Latin inscription records the building <strong>of</strong> the colonnade<br />

round the other side the <strong>for</strong>um by another member <strong>of</strong> the same clan, Vibius Popidius Ep.<br />

f. q, (see in section 6.3.6) 712<br />

Second, ST Po 6, Ve 14, Co 45, SE 61 (1995) 357. The inscription was found re-<br />

used in the inner arch <strong>of</strong> the Nolan gate near the keystone. The original object <strong>of</strong> the<br />

dedication is unknown. Because this text probably refers to the same person as the<br />

previous one, it is also dated to the first half <strong>of</strong> the second century BC.<br />
