Philomu§SUS

1. A freedman of Livius, is described in an inscription as Inaur., that is, inatlrator, a gilder, one of those artists, or perhaps rather artificers, whose employment consisted in covering wooden statues and other objects with thin beaten leaves of the precious metals, and who were called by the Greeks λεπτυργοί, and by the Romans Bractearii Aurificcs. (R. Rochette, Lettre 133 M. Schorn, p. 384, 2nd ed.)

2. The architect of a monument of a certain Cornelia, is desiginted in the inscription as at the same time a scene-painter and a contractor for public works (pictor scuenarius, idem redemptor). There are other instances of the union of these two professions. (Orelli, Inscr. Latin. select. No. 2636 ; R. Rochette, l.c). [P.S]
