- Discussion of inscribed letters found in medieval masonry, possibly Latin abbreviation
- Description
- This is an excerpt from a scholarly discussion analyzing ancient letters (E & C) found carved in mosaic within thick medieval masonry on the Isle of Man. The author argues for the antiquity of the inscription based on the mosaic cutting technique and its placement within substantial stonework, rejecting frivolous interpretations. The text proposes a Latin interpretation of the letters as 'Castrum Edificatum' (Fortress Built).
