Tombstones

[Nathan Ross]

Thanks Mike and Duncan!

As Mike says, it's not an exact science...And there are always exceptions that throw a spanner in the works. :roll:

I guessed so. I'm sure I must have read something rather dryly dogmatic once, along the lines of 'the post-Hadrianic date of the inscription is made clear by use of the Dis Manibus formula, almost unknown before the 2nd century' or something (a generic example!), and just assumed this to be the case. One of the hazards of my jackdawish approach to learning...
