Got an email from the archaeologist from Amsterdam.<br>
He said the identification to I Classica is not sure at all. (Of course seeing the reconstruction, that's no surprise). He's just probably from Gaul (a.o. from Forum Iulii, Probus is Latin, but possibly Celtic (thanks Sander)) so could also be from one of the other Gallic cohorts.<br>
The inscription is dated to the mid 1st century CE because there seem to be no other tombstones with busts from later periods in the general area.<br>
An article will be published in a Dutch journal in the Fall. <p>Greets<BR>
