# A Temple of the Genius of Oea is dated to 183 in the Tripoli file under Commodus’s reign

Date: 183

## The fact

Livius records the 183 Oea temple under [Commodus](/people/commodus)’s buildings outside Rome. Britannica independently frames the reign’s public chronology.

It is one event.

## Context

A civic Genius temple is a cohesion-and-cult path for a provincial city. Shared local magistracies remain. It does not cancel urban purges in Rome.

Commodus’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Livius’s buildings list dates a Temple of the Genius of Oea (Tripoli) to 183. Local dedication under the reign is not the same as Commodus laying every brick.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Livius — Commodus and Britannica — Commodus independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Livius — Commodus (https://www.livius.org/articles/person/commodus/; Livius.org).

## Significance

The Oea temple is a cohesion path of medium confidence on personal authorship of the fabric, high that the reign-year is listed.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a sourced public record of this instrument at the date assigned here.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Commodus.

They are not a public rating.

The driver `social-cohesion` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Commodus did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not treat every provincial dedication as a second Commodus Fact. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Commodus.
