I’m absolutely of the same opinion! I work as Professor of Roman History and Latin Epigraphy by the University of Molise, and presenting a course on Aesernia in the second century, I had the opportunity to reflect on the cognomina of Calidius and Fannia and on the tone of the text, which can be: a inn sign , or an ‘alternative’ burial inscription, perfectly in Samnite spirit, which we have other examples. Congratulations and courage!

Everything seems to be working fine to me, at least now (& apologies for the delay).

I add that in the final program (sent on 27.8.2012) a panel on ‘Public Entertainment’ has been added that had not been previously advertised. I find it uncorrect as otherwise I would also have submitted a contibution.

Dear Dott.ssa Orlandri, as for your comment: “…but a little bit more discretion and patience while the official publication is still forthcoming,” yes your right, but what surprised me the most about the news of the discovery or the inscriptions and other artifacts discovered at the site, and photographed between Jan. – Feb. 2011, I was surprised to learn from the scholars at the Museum of the Imperial Fora (e-mail personal communication in Feb. 2011), that Dr. Roberto Egidi, had not informed either Dr. Lucrezia Ungaro or Dr. Roberto Meneghini ( Office / Museum of the Imperial Fora) if this important discovery? Nearly fours years into the excavations at the pal. Madonna di Loreto site (2008-11), Dr. Egidi has done little to convey these important finding to his scholarly peers in Rome. Problematically the SSBAR in Rome responsible for the excavations in the Metro C archaeological surveys of the Imperial Fora (2007-2011, and the Temple of Peace (1999-2007), has done a very poor job of reporting on the archaeological findings, period! Several scholars in Rome, I spoke with said, that the Metro C archaeological excavations in the Fora, and the publications by Dr. Egidi, as so vague in details, and that these finding may never be published!

Thank you

I am disappointed. On such Congresses there used to be five full days of Congress (arrival on Sunday and departure on Saturday), and now there are only three (arrive on Monday and departure on Friday). There seem to be no expectation or request that the average researcher will produce a scholarly output especially for this Congress, as there will be no space for him to present it, let alone to publish it. I would like to know who and why selected these ten topics for panels. Is there a special epigraphic interest in harbours? Doesn’t Christian epigraphy have her own Congresses?

It’s good to have fresh news on newly discovered inscriptions, but a little bit more discretion and patience while the official publication is still forthcoming would have been appreciated…

- Update: Rome: the Metro C Archaeological Surveys: the Piazza Madonna di Loreto, (sector # S14/B1). The Discovery of New Inscriptions & Architectural Elements of the Temple of Trajan? (January 20th, 2011).

During the course of the recent archeological surveys conducted in the area of the former Piazza Madonna di Loreto, (sector #14 / B1) Italian archaeologists working under the direction of Dr. Roberto Egidi & Dr. Mirella Serlorenzi (SSBAR) [n.1] may have discovered a new Trajanic inscription? This based upon a series of new photographs taken by Gianni De Dominicis, at the excavations site as of January 2 & 17, 2011.
