The electoral inscriptions found in the ancient city of Pompeii constitute an incredible source of information for the scholars interested in reconstructing the political life of the Vesuvian sites, especially in the last decades before the eruption.

Abstract

The electoral inscriptions found in the ancient city of Pompeii constitute an incredible source of information for the scholars interested in reconstructing the political life of the Vesuvian sites, especially in the last decades before the eruption. In spite of a very rich scientific literature on the subject, there is still a lot to say about the Pompeian elections and their chronologies. An ongoing project, however, within the huge work for the creation of the database EDR, is now offering new interesting data, thanks to a deep reconsideration of all of the 3.000 tituli picti Pompeiani, with a new approach based on the highlighting of the important superpositions among earlier and later inscriptions on the same walls. In this preliminary paper, the A. presents the first results about the careers of Cnaeus Helvius Sabinus and Lucius Ceius Secundus (for this latter there is also a new text recently appeared in the city after the collapse of part of a wall), and some remarks about the datation of the famous intervention in Pompeii made by Suedius Clemens.
