Public inscriptions from Musti testify to the increased building activity of prominent figures, Roman nobles, often assigned to the Cornelia tribe (citizens of Musti), who held the most important positions in the city, such as duumvir (IIvir), duumvir quinquennalis, and flamen perpetuus. The local elite included members of the following Roman families: Iulii, Cassi, Cornelii, Fulvii, Marii, Nonii, Orfii, Ovii, Perellii, Postumii, Terentii and Valerii. The earliest dedication from Musti (AE 1968, 599) is dated to the reign of Trajan, in 116 AD (TR POT XX):

Imp(eratori) Caesari Divi Nervae f(ilio) Nervae Traiano Optimo | Aug(usto), Ger(manico) Dac(ico), Parthico, pont(ifici) max(imo), trib(unicia) pot(estate) XX, Imp(eratori) XI, co(n)s(uli) VI, p(atri) p(atriae). | M(arcus) Valerius M(arci) f(ilius) Arn(ensis) Fuscus, IIvir, ob honorem flam(onii) perp(etui), taxatis HS X (milibus) por|ticum mediam adiecta a se amplius pecunia fecit idemq(ue) pinxit item in | templo Cererum et in templo Ditis porticuus et sacrarium sua pec(unia) fec(it) idemq(ue) ded(icavit). D(ecreto) d(ecurionum).

To Imperator Caesar Nerva Trajan, the best ruler, Augustus, son of the divine Nerva, conqueror of the Germans, Dacians, and Parthians, head of the college of pontiffs, in his 20th year of tribunician power, 11th time as imperator, 6th time as consul, father of the fatherland. Marcus Valerius Fuscus, son of Marcus, of the tribe Arnensis, duumvir, after promising 10,000 sesterces in honor of the perpetual priesthood, and with additional money additionally from his own resources, built the middle portico and decorated it. He also constructed and dedicated a portico and a chapel in the Temple of Cereres and in the Temple of Dis, with his own money. By decree of the decurions.

The commisssioner M. Valerius Fuscus, duumvir in Musti, assigned to the Arnensis tribe, citizen of Carthage, financed and decorted a middle portico, perhaps in the forum area. The cost exceeded 10,000 sesterces. Additionally, he funded the construction of a portico and a chapel (sacrarium) in two temples at Musti. His munificence in Musti was particularly notable in Musti, as the decurions there honored him by dedicating a statue. The inscription was carved on the base of the statue:

[M(arco) Va]lerio M(arci) | [f(ilio) Arn(ensi)] Fusco, IIvir, | [fla]m(ini) perp(etvo), ob | [mu]nific(entia) eius. | [D(ecreto] d(ecurionum), p(ecunia) p(ublica).

To Marcus Valerius Fuscus, son of Marcus, of the Arnensis tribe, duumvir, and perpetual priest, for his munificence. By decree of decurions, at public expense.
