A Fragment of an Imperial Letter in a Collection of Religious Objects

Abstract

The article introduces a hitherto unpublished small fragment of a bronze tablet in the Collec-tion Fedor K., Budapest. It is inscribed with the copy of an imperial letter (exemplum sacrarum litterarum) presumably from the Black Sea region. Although neither the name of the emperor nor a date is preserved, epigraphic elements point to a dating in the 3rd-4th century.
