Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The Pannonian inscription, CIL III, 4346, offers the reader three puzzles and their solutions. The most complex depends on multiple links of kinship between five people, as a result of a marriage between a paternal uncle and his niece. Metrical and stylistic analysis reveal the influence of Ovid and suggest a cultured milieu. The marriage in question provides one of the few examples of marriage between relatives separated by three degrees, which was legal between Claudius I and Constantius II. But it raises the question of how to assess such an endogamic union, combining an existing with a new relationship of kinship, given that the Greco-Roman world in general emphasizes the undesirability of such unions.
