hellenicdreams:THE STAFFORDSHIRE HOARDThe publication of this amazing archaeological discovery is now Open Access, check it out here! While it isn’t Classical archaeology (my main did), there are some amazing objects here (garnet studded gold? yes please) and there is even a wonderfully abbreviated passage of Latin from the Vulgate bible:[S]URGE:DNE:DISEPENTURINIMICITUIE/T[F]UGENT QUIODERUNTTEAFACIETUA SURGE DNE DISEPINTUR […MIC]ITUIE/TFUGIU[N/T]QUIO DE [R]UNTTE AF ACIE TU[..]DIUIE NOS[.R.] “The inscribed text is a rendering of a well-known Vulgate text, which appears in the following form in Numbers 10, 35: cumque elevaretur arca dicebat Moses surge Domine et dissipentur inimici tui et fugiant qui oderunt te a facie tua, ‘When he had lifted up the ark, Moses said “Rise up, Lord, and may your enemies be dispersed and those who hate you flee from your face”’.” Source.Image source. -- source link
