starwhite2 Posted August 7, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Has anybody seen this black rock? I definitely do not want to miss it. It would be a shame to walk right by it! I am a Latin student and this is where Latin first started. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted August 7, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2010 If you go to this blog and see the entry for Nov 23, there is a picture of what the site in the Forum looks like, to help you identify it, along with some interesting information: http://eternallycool.net/2008/11/ At least, this is how it looked in November 2009 when I last visited.

Rare cruisemom42 Posted August 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Some additional info on the Lapis Niger from an excellent website recently posted here by cruise kitty: http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Places/Europe/Italy/Lazio/Roma/Rome/Forum_Romanum/_Texts/Huelsen*/2/17.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwhite2 Posted August 8, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Thank you for both urls. They are fantastic. As I was reading the letters, I was thinking, "These look more Greek than Latin." And then I scrolled down and the author said the same thing. I should be able to find lapis niger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
