Trajanic Diploma for Moesia Inferior dated 13.Mai.105?

[Spedius]

Hi Jim,
Looks to me like it reads;
25. prae(e)st L.Fabius L. f(ilius) ?AL FASMIVS (or possibly FASVIVS)
Regards,

Ave Peroni (Adrian)

It's good to hear from you again, I trust you are well?

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to check out that picture for me. Were you able to enhance it all? I managed to read most of it by a direct comparison with it's twin CIL 16, 0050. The only difference being the recipient's details. Your reading of line 25 looks pretty accurate.

Have you heard the good news? Jasper has received an e-mail from Paul Holder telling him that RMD V has gone to the publishers. It will contain 154 diplomas up to the end of 2003 and should be available later this year. RMD VI's future is uncertain though. I sincerely hope that Paul is able to keep his publisher on board.

Have you any other publications that you think I should consider adding to my collection?

Vale
