Hi all, had a friend share an image of this script and given the object was found in Tunisia I thought it was most likely Punic, but I'd prefer to get a more informed opinion.
Antinous, the great love of the emperor Hadrian represented in a relief as the god Silvanus. He is crowned with a pine branch, holds a sickle and is accompanied by a dog. The Greek inscription reveals the artist as Antonianos of Aphrodisia (AD 130-138).
Hope you find this interesting, still trying to up my game when it comes to YouTube but enjoying it.

Been working on my channel which I have left a bit idle. Added a number of shorts but now working on dedicated content (e.g. landscape and not just repurposed). Not had many views for the new stuff so far but hoping something will catch, plus I enjoy it.
Keen to know the experience of others who have experienced similar.
Working more on my YouTube channel so hope you enjoy these.
A funerary stele for Lucios Aelios Melitinos, who died when he was 13 months and 9 days old. The wording is interesting as it has some important messages to the reader.
Firstly, and rather poignantly, it hopes that others don't suffer the loss of their children. Secondly it warns against any desecration of the tomb and urns which sit within it. Dated to the 2nd century AD.
I did a stitch with someone talking about the hoplite shield and spoke about the word hoplite. Hope you find it interesting.
