Latin - or what?
5 Answers
Turning over clay soil in my garden the other day - hoping for frost to break it up - I uncovered some fragments of old, very old by the look of it, pottery. Putting the pieces together revealed an inscription in what appeared to be Latin, or something like it.
The inscription was:
ITI SAPIS SPO TSOITI SAN DABI GONE
Has anyone any idea what language this might be, and what it could mean?
