Inscriptions: Monza Flasks 6 and 14
Posted in Metalwork, inscription on April 7th, 2008 by Kirsten AtaoguzI have decided to include translations of inscriptions on this website, both those that I have found already published and those that I have prepared myself. Please note that I have created a new category for Inscriptions. When the original text is Latin, I will include the Latin. In this instance, the original is Greek, and I have no idea how to use Greek font on this blog, so my apologies. Unless otherwise noted, the translations are my own.

Monza Flask 14, Obverse showing the Crucifixion and the Resurrection

Andre Grabar included French translations in his Les Ampoules de Terre Sainte (Monza, Bobbio) (1958).
