Text type
commentary
See ISic003159for the text on the reverse. The interpretation is very uncertain, whether the text is incomplete and whether CONS stands for consul (but not the usual abbreviation thereof), or the first part of a name such as Considius (suggested by Manganario). Mommsen speculated that, given the reverse has a (later) text with the word 'fines', it should be paralleled with CIL X.7232 from Marsala (fines inter Vandalos...), but the Manganaro and Korhonen both consider this text to be earlier and not necessarily in any way connected to the text on the reverse. A terminus of some sort (rather than a milestone) seems possible (fullest discussion in Manganaro).
