each was raised both in Aquincum and Carnuntum, which is not likely at all (ALFÖLDY 1987, 343). Otherwise we think the circumstance thought- provoking that the Székesfehérvár stone was erected in addition to the salute of the emperors for that of the Aquincum ordo, which would probably point in the direction that June 11 was a holiday of the Aquincum municipium and probably also a feast day, perhaps the day of foundation of the municipium of Carnuntum. In this light it is worth-while to underline the fact that beside of the inscriptions mentioned by us the day June 11 occurs in the whole Empire in an inscription from Hispánia and one from Egypt (IGRR1240) in addition to an inscription from Aquincum.The inscription from 237 (AnÉp 1937,208 = BpR, XII, 1937, 127) was dedicated to Silvanus magnus. We have to mention here also a fragmentary inscription from Kiskunlacháza (CIL III 1081), set by two officials - they might have been Ilviri - of the col(onia) splendidis(sima) Aqfuincensium) in June 233. If we suppose that the one and last cypher "M" of the first line meant the last cypher of the word Eraviscorum, we may range this stone, dragged off evidently in the course of late building activities, with the stones dedicated on June 11 to Teutanus. The inscription reserved only the name of the month, the part containing the day was broken, on ground of the analogues, however, the cyphers III ID, designing the 11th day of the month, might have stood there. We think it also possible that the Székesfehérvár stone mentioned was also dedicated to 1.0.M. Teutanus, and this would be the completion of the lost part as well. The evaluation of June 11 is the task of a further research work, as for its meaning several explanations exist. It is worth considering that to the main deity of the Celtic Eravisci, luppiter Optimus Maximus Teutanus and luppiter Optimus K(...), revered also in the centre of a Celtic tribe, that of the Boii, altars were set on Junell, which would probably refer to a feast of the indigenous Celtic population. Because of the fragmentary state of the Carnuntum inscriptions we do not know, regrettably, the persons setting the monuments but we may assume that they were also official persons. As it is known, the two settlements, Aquincum and Carnuntum, received the rank of a town in the times of Hadrianus (MÓCSY 1962, 599), which makes our hypothesis probable. We cannot give, naturally, a final, satisfying answer to this question. In our opinion we can count with a phenomenon similar to the example of Carnuntum and Aquincum in the neighbouring Noricum as well, where in Bedaium (RE, V Hb, 183) exactly dated altars were erected to a certain luppiter Optimus Maximus Arubianus (HOLDER 1896, 229; RE, II, 1486-1487) and to Bedaius Sanctus (HOLDER 1896, 365), generally by the duumviri of the town (CIL III 5575 May 15, 226 - CIL III 5580 May 15, 219; KLOSE 1911, 219-225; HERZ 1978, 206-207). We can define the Gellérthegy in Budapest as the original site of the Teutanus stones, where, like on the Pfaffenberg, the stones may have been situated in the open, standing on bases, whence they were carried off together with their bases in the mid-4th century to their present find place, Bolcske. 31
