The Roman Collegia.
Inscription at p . 126 , vol . 1 ., which preserves the names of the Patroni , Quinquennales Perpetui , and the members of a corporate order which had given money for enlarging a temple , perhaps the Templum of the Fabrum . Many of the names are those of Roman citizens high in the service of the State , and not architects or builders , or artificers , or fabri
only , so that the Corpus Collegii , or Ordinis , was composed of speculative and operative members . The names of at least two hundred ordinary members are given . There is a most striking Inscripta , Gruteri , 427 , which is raised by the Coll . Fatrum to M . Juvenio Magio , who Facultates Colleg . reliquit .
From a previous inscription Grsevius would infer that this expression meant he had left his fortune to the College . There is another class of inscriptions which deserves attention from Masonic Students . For instance , there is an inscription vol . i ., p . 45 , to " Herculi ,
Comiti , Custodi , "byM . Coesius Aug . L . Sostratus , Prasfectus Fabrorum Colleg . Dendrophororum , Cent . Tignarior , et Patronus Corporat Ferrarior , et Sex . Vir . Quinq . Sac . Fac . Flamen , Augustal , and Sex Viri Curatores . Thus we see this distinguished " Sodalis et Frater" was the Prefect of four Colleges , a Patronus , Quinquennalis Sacratus , and Flamen Augustalis .
At p . 434 , vol i ., there is a remarkable inscription to L . Marculeius Saturnius , a veteran of the Augustan Cohort viii ., a Quaestor and Curator of the Pecunia , a Curator of the Aliment ( Commissariat ) , a Curator Plebis , a " stratorem " apud Jovem , a Quinquennalis of the College of Fabr . Tignariorum , by Cornelius Faustus Junior .
At p . 393 , vol . i ., there is an inscription as made by the Collegium Ccntonariorum . Honore accepto . Impend Remiser , et in Tutelam Deder , Coelio Valerio and Calpurn L . F . Optatellse , his wife . M . . iEmelio Ccelio and Lucilise , and F . Sabinee , and M . Eleusiliano Catrono , filios , just as if they were all part and parcel in some way of
the Collegium . At p . 99 , vol i ., there is a very interesting inscription from P . Cornelius Thalino to P . Cornelio , an Architect , a Magister Quinquennalis Coll . Fabr . Tignar , and also Allectus in Ordinem Decurion . There is an inscription from Julia T . F . Veia to a Julius Cornelius
Valiarianus , Prsefectus Fabrum , Flamen Augustalis Pontificalis . At p . 391 , vol . v ., the Collegia Fabr . et Cent , raise a tablet to Claudius Fabius Sabundanus , Equo Publico ( that is Equiti Publico ) , and at the same page the junior members of the College , apparently at their own expense , raise a tablet to Titus Claudius , a Knight , and Prefect Fabroum , and Triumvir .
