Document Summary
Infamus status, just like gladiators and actors and prostitutes. Inscription, which commemorates the charioteer scirtis, a freedman, charioteer for the whites, and his wife, carisa nessus, a freedwoman, dates from 13-25 ce. 7 victories in a 4 horse chariot, was recalled 4 times, second 39, and third 60. He twice raced in a six horse chariot. To the departed spirit of epaphroditus, charioteer of the reds, he won 178 prizes with the reds, he won 8 prizes with the purples. His wife, beia feicula, erected this in his memory, willingly, for he deserved it. Fucus, charioteer for the greens, lived 24 years, he won 53 times at rome, twice in the ludi for the goddess dia, once in the ludus given at bovillae. He won one palm, after he was called back twice. He was the first of all the drivers to win on the first day he raced.
