Found a strange artifact with poems by Virgil

The person who made the inscription may have practiced memorization or pursued the goal of teaching the child to read.

Researchers from the Universities of Cordoba, Seville and Montpellier in the municipality of Gornachuelos (Cordoba) have found a fragment of an amphora that comes from the Roman province of Baetica and dates from around 1800. Its fragment is covered with text, written by Arkeonews.

The fragment measuring 6 cm by 8 cm is distinguished by an unusually large textual inscription. It was found in the plain area of ​​the Guadalquivir River. This area was of great importance as a central center for the production and trade of olive oil throughout the Roman Empire.

It is also known that Roman potters affixed their seals to these vessels or wrote labels containing names, dates or places. But there are no verses.

Therefore, the discovery surprised the experts, after the epigraphist successfully identified the inscription, revealing the following words: “S vais avoniam glandem arestapoqv tisaqv it”.

“Through careful overlay and careful analysis, we have come to the conclusion that the text corresponds to the seventh and eighth verses of the first book of the Georgics, a poem written by Virgil in 29 BC, which deals with agriculture and life in countryside. The verses written below the amphorae were evidently not meant to be displayed. The author may have been a skilled craftsman, or perhaps even a child who worked in a factory responsible for amphora production. However, the lines clearly indicates that the person who carved the letters in clay, had a higher level of education than traditionally attributed to such workers,” the researchers added.

Recall that early archaeologists found a necropolis near Naples.
