Altar of Fortune. End of the 1st BC. Century

Votive altar of white Luni (Carrara) marble found in the same stratigraphic context as that of Caius Caesar. 
The nomen (second name) of the dedicator, L. Iunius Paetus, is the same as borne by a certain L. Iunius, augur, which also figures in a coin minted in Cartagena, dated around the years 37-36 B.C. We cannot confirm whether both cases refer to the same person or if he was a descendant of the money minting magistracy, however what stands out in the dedication is the desire to emphasize his affiliation with both generations.

The dedication clearly alludes to the Fortuna Augusta, and its context is framed within the repercussions produced by the erection of the altars dedicated to Fortuna Redux (for a safe return home) and the Pax Augusta (Roman peace) by the Senate in Rome. This same deity, which guarantees success in business and the prosperity of the city, while at the same time protects its citizens, is also linked to the welfare entailed by the good government of Augustus.
