Roman Diploma Fragment

<< < (3/4) > >>

Joe Sermarini:
Final bump.

Jay GT4:
Just curious Joe, what else are you looking for?  I think the reading of the diploma is as good as it will get and dating would be 1st-2nd century.  Did you reach out to Istvan?

Joe Sermarini:
I am looking mostly for the most specific date I can get. Other than that, I do not know what those three lines have to say. I am just hoping for whatever is possible to learn.

I will ask Istvan to take a look here.

Jay GT4:
Amazing Istvan.  I got you started ;D
