OK Roman military historians, can you help me with "tutela III Asclepio" from that looted funerary inscription for a sailor in the Misenum fleet that turned up recently in New Orleans (EDCS-21100456 = CIL 11.7584)?

I assume that "tutela" is an office, role, or rank and our man Verus was assigned it for the trireme "Asclepius". But do we know what "tutela" means in any more detail?

Parallel: "armicustos III Marte" (EDCS-19800619 = CIL 11.67)

On the recovered inscription: https://scholar.social/@serviliusahala/115333301710261135

Boosts appreciated.

Question for #digitalhumanities , #earlymodern , #bookhistory , #latin and especially #neolatin people here: Do you know of #linkedopendata resources that are potentially relevant for Neolatinists? I'm preparing a talk on the topic and would like to provide an overview of interesting datasets beyond wikidata, factgrid, prism, lila and the linked data services of some libraries.

"An artificial intelligence (AI) model can predict where ancient Latin texts come from, estimate how old they are and restore missing parts. The model, called Aeneas and described in Nature today, was developed by some of the members of the team who created a previous AI tool that could decipher ancient Greek inscriptions."

Hoy, mientras pensaba en desayunar un bol con melocotón y cereales he pensado...

¿Por qué en castellano se dice "melocotón" y en otros idiomas cercanos la raíz no concuerda?

En portugués se dice "pêssego", pêche en francés, peach en inglés, pesca en italiano... ¿Veis el patrón común?

Procedo con la breve explicación (1/3) ⬇️
