Here is an inscription from the Leptis Magna Museum. It is easy to read:
Q. GEMINIVS
CELSVS MILes
LEGionis III AVGvstae VIXit
ANNIS XLV STIpendi.... (?)
XVIII ALAPI CO-
NTIBERNALI FECERvnt
Two questions:
- what is the ending of line 4 (stipendiis? stipendiorum?) (I ought to know this :oops: )
- what can ALAPI mean?
I have been thinking about ALA PIA or something, but I don't know.
