| ANALYSIS

| Description The three joined fragments depict a blank area with the letters AEMILI[...] engraved across the space.
Identification In 1970, E. Rodríguez-Almeida joined frs. 623 (now 621f) and 627 (now 621e) to these four pieces (Rodríguez-Almeida 1970-71, pp. 112-113, fig. 4). Based on similar characteristics of the marble, thickness, and ductus, he added the group to slab V-13 which is mainly occupied by the Tiber river. The inscription AEMILI[---] in this group, he suggested, was a label for the pons Aemilius (Rodríguez-Almeida 1970-71, p. 113; AG 1980, p. 118). However, the group is not added to Rodríguez-Almeida's final drawing of the Plan in AG 1980, pl. 62.
Significance If Rodríguez-Almeida's interpretation and location of this fragment is correct, then it is our only evidence for the pons Aemilius on the Plan.
