Btw, I've never encountered a latin inscription where they say XIV - they always say XIIII (as in C IAPETO M F LEGIO XIIII GEMINA COH III FEC F EIUS M IAPETUS (for gaius iapetus son of marcus of the 14th legion gemina, 3d cohors, marcus iapetus, his son, made this).
T'were those renaissance people who thought perhaps DCCCCLXXXXVIIII was excessive to write IM. |
