Thanks PugJesus. And for those of us who haven't done Latin this millennium, can you provide a translation?

[–] str82L@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh hang on, I get it, it's a long string of letters. Gotcha.

Hah, yeah, I'm afraid my Latin isn't proficient enough to provide a translation even if the meaning was the joke. XD

"For the health of our lords, Lucius Septimius Severus Pertinax and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus Caesars. Quintus Anicius Faustus, by decree of the governors, provided this."

Something along these lines. Not 100% sure on Anicius though

Funny how we still write little plates like that

[–] SurpriZe@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What plates do you mean?

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Commemorative plates
