Eine merkwürdige Ritzinschrift von Copăceni bei Potaissa

Abstract

A fragment of an inscribed ceramic water pipe was found in the village of Copăceni, near Potaissa. We have to do with a graffito ante cocturam, of which the beginning of the two lines has been lost. The text: [--- f?]ẹcit sibi culitorem formosum | [---I]ụn(ias?) Gordiano et Pompeiano co(n)[s(ulibus)]. Translation: ".... has procured (educated) a 'lover', in ... May/June, under the consulship of Gordianus and Pompeianus" (a. 241). The text has an erotic character.
