Interested in the life, times & legacy of Elizabeth de Burgh, #LadyOfClare - the remarkable #14thCentury patron of #ClareCollege at #CambridgeUniversity in England. Searchable.
@TimeTravelRome@archaeo.social Could you please give us a bit more info on the original text & translation, materials, location of the artefact, etc? perhaps in Alt-text?
This sounds intriguing, but why would a diploma be inscribed in ?metal/stone? What was the qualification achieved? Why would it simultaneously mention citizenship? … etc?
@knavalesi@mastodon.social Interesting find! More info here:

#TIL about Roman military diplomas from https://www.romancoins.info/MilitaryDiploma1a.html (fascinating, highly recommended) - & the etymology of ‘diploma’, “folded in two”! https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B4%CE%AF%CF%80%CE%BB%CF%89%CE%BC%CE%B1#Ancient_Greek
