Abstract

In this paper the author publishes a new Roman grave-altar from Bikács (County Tolna). The richly decorated altar was erected by a peregrine Eraviscus and it can be dated to the first decades of the 2nd century. In eastern Pannonia very few grave-altars are known and this is the first one which was erected to a native father. He still had a Celtic cognomen but his son was called Appius. The find-spot can be found in the southern edge of the civitas Eraviscorum. This region is very poor in inscriptions.
