Temple of Isis at Pompeii - Dedicatory Inscription

"Numerius Popidius Celsinus, son of Numerius, restored the Temple of Isis, having collapsed during an earthquake, from its foundations with his own money. On account of his generosity, the local senate enrolled him (Numerius) into its ranks free of charge although he was just six years old."

Rebuilt after the earthquake in A.D. 62 (destroyed in A.D. 79)
