Quote:Quite right Faustus it is, who is presumably "quinti filius pollia pollentia"* I'm afraid I dont read latin :wink: but the latin translator I use comes up with "the fifth son of race Pollia"....The inscription reads:
Q(uintus) Luccius / Q(uinti) f(ilius) Pollia (tribu) / Faustus Pole/ntia mil(es) Leg(ionis) / XIIII Gem(inae) Mar(tiae) / Vic(tricis) an(norum) XXXV / stip(endiorum) XVII h(ic) s(itus) e(st) / heredes f(aciendum) c(uraverunt)
This translates as:
Quintus Luccius Faustus, son of Quintus, of the Pollian voting tribe, from Polentia, soldier of the 14th Legion Gemina Martia Victrix, lived 35 years, served 17 years, lies here. His heirs caused this to be made.
