L’epitafio di Platone Hic iacet ille Plato… (CLE 1395 = ICVRII 442, n. 152)

Abstract

Greeks and Latins in Byzantine Rome. This is a critical revision, with Italian translation and literary comment, of a 686/687 CE sepulchral epigram. This 38-line elegiac couplet poem has received too little attention by scholarship, considering that it involves useful historical, prosopographical, as well as archaeological notices.
