He analyzed a 1968 catalog of more than 1,700 inscriptions from Rome called "Inscriptiones graecae urbis Romae." He found 53 cases of Greek inscriptions with classical letterforms.<br /><br />"Not one case is to be found in which, in the judgment of the [catalog]editors, an inscription with the classical letter forms found in NCE 156 can be securely placed in the mid-third or fourth century," Snyder wrote in his paper.<br />In addition, Snyder analyzed an inventory of inscriptions from nearby Naples, published in a series of two volumes in the 1990s called "Iscrizioni greche d'Italia." He found only two examples that might date into the third century. "In sum, Guarducci's case for a second-century date for NCE 156 is stronger than ever," he wrote. <br />http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44759608/ns/technology_and_science-science/#.Too_VewirzMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-53183338405805303482011-10-01T07:41:30.995-07:002011-10-01T07:41:30.995-07:00It's not a new discovery.
