Abstract

The VIIIth volume of the Inscriptiones Christianae Italiae (ICI), dedicated to the Christian inscriptions of Beneventum in the Augustan regio II (Apulia et Calabria) was published two decades ago; this paper offers an update of our knowledge of the Christian epigraphic documents of this important city in Southern Italy from the IVth to VIth centuries (before its conquest by Lombards in 578). Six new fragments must be added to the established repertoire of the twenty-five Beneventan Christian inscriptions; in this paper these are considered from different points of view, in direct connection with the latest archaeological acquisitions about history and topography of Beneventum in Late Antiquity. An acclamation must be added to the documents already edited in the VIIIth volume of ICI. The acclamation, surely Christian, is written on one of the sides of a base re-used for an honorary inscription dedicated to a vir spectabilis, consularis Campaniae. The progressive osmosis between traditional and Christian formulas in monumental epigraphic expression during Vth and VIth centuries is attested by an inscribed architrave (already published in ICI VIII, but analyzed here more deeply), which might result from influences of epigraphic praxis in Byzantine Africa.
