Description: | inscription, carving
possible name, ]MON[...]ANVS
Roman building inscription recording a man's name. The first surviving letter on each line, both of which are damaged, can only be A, M, or N. The other letters read; ..ON.NUS. An expert can compare this to a list of Roman names and as in a crossword puzzle, suggest the missing letters. In this case the full name is; MONTANUS (third century, Arbeia Roman Fort).
