Abstract

By examining the seviri’s activities present in the Roman epigraphic monuments, we seek to show how religion and the political power were closely connected during that time. Freedmen are the members of this college related to the worship of the emperor an epigraphic evidence (IRCP 73) of Balsa, a civitas in the south of Lusitania, shows us how a sevir thanks the goddess Fortuna Augusta for his election, with the promised organisation of pleasing events.
