About Reconstruction and Interpretation of Cius’ Inscription

Abstract

The paper deals with the history of reconstruction and interpretation of Cius’ inscription (CIL III 7494 = ILS 770). It was created during the war conducted by roman emperor Valens against Goths in 367-369. Only a half of text has remained, and so a number of hypotheses have been advanced to reconstruct the lost part. Reconstruction proposed by Theodor Mommsen in 1882 enjoys high prestige to this day. Although some efforts to rewrite it were attempted (supported e.g. by H. Dessau), they didn’t gain general acceptance. The author suggests new arguments for rewriting of Mommsens reconstruction.
