A revised edition of the Latin inscription on the Egadi 11 bronze rostrum from the Egadi islands

Journal article

Abstract:: This article publishes a full revised text of the Latin inscription on the 11th bronze rostrum (ram) recovered from the site of the Battle of the Aegates Islands. A full reading has only been made possible this year after cleaning and conservation of the ram. Minor variationsare visible from the other rostra produced in the same production programme (Egadi 4 and 6), demonstrating the existence of multiple teams of craftsmen in the production process.
