I have started a discussion over on Commons about this map, specifically as to whether there is any evidence/scholarship behind the "Rutulian" language claimed by it. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 21:08, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is someone willing to type-up the text from the featured stone Colosseum tablet?

Latest comment: 5 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Someone contributed a very high quality photograph of a tablet from the colosseum to the [Wikipedia Commons].

At the time of my writing, the photograph is used as the cover image for the Wikipedia page on Latin.

The problem is, I cannot read the letters on the tablet. I can read type-set writing, but reading hand-written text and stone carvings is difficult for me.

Is anyone willing to insert a typed transcription of what was written on the stone Colosseum tablet?
