The other week there were a few articles about a wall inscription I believe at Herculaneum that forbid garbage dumping. I would love to use that for the Legio XX Caupona, but can't find an image or the Latin text. Anyone know of any photos or publication of it?
AE 1960, 00276 = AE 1962, 00234
Latium et Campania / Regio I
Ercolano / Herculaneum

M(arcus) [Alf]icius Pa- us / aedilis / [si qu]is uelit in hunc locum / stercus abicere monetur no[n] / [licere] facere si quis aduer[sus ea] / i(n)dicium fecerit liberi dent / [dona]rium n(ummum) serui uerberibus / in sedibus atmonentur(!)

Hoping it help you.
Optime uale,
And if by 'dumping' you mean something a bit more biological:
Cacator cave malum, aut si contempseris, habeas Iovem iratum.
Also from Pompeii.
After reading that, he replied: "
Hic bene cacaui"...
Vale,

Yes thanks! that's what I was looking for. If someone happens to see a photo of the inscription out that would be appreciated too.
