Fabulous #EpigraphyTuesday thread from Eleri! We are very eagerly awaiting her arrival at Durham Archaeology in the new year - lots of epigraphic fun to be had between Archaeology and Classics in 2025!
It is my last week of teaching at Lancaster (ever!), and I’m feeling nostalgic, so this week I’m celebrating my favourite bits of Roman Lancaster 🥳🏺 First up for #EpigraphyTuesday: this gem of an inscription in Lancaster City Museum. Buckle up for a thread of usurper emperors and confused scholars 🧵
