Summary
My starting point is a scholarly mess. A few years ago,I came across a very special Latin inscription. Itwas reportedly found ‘pochi anni fa’ (as of 1995) inthe harbour of Rhodes during some reconstruction andenlargement work. It was described as a column ofwhite marble, 220 cm high, with a diameter of 125cm, ‘testimonianza marmorea della lex Rhodia de iactuproveniente da un antico edificio portuale di Rodi’.According to the first editor, the Greek legalscholar Giorgio S. Marcou, it reads, in ‘six orseven lines’ (?): LEX RODIA [sic] CAVETVR (sic) VT (sic) SI LEVANDAE NAVIS GRATIA IACTVS(sic) MERCIVM FACTVM(sic) EST ONIVM(sic) CONTRIBVTIONESARCITVR (sic) QVODPRO OMNIBVS DATVM EST.
