ratio castrensis

Castrensis o castrensis? Quando l'errore non è di lettura

It’s not always easy, in an interpretative transcription of an inscription, to decide if a word, of plain reading, is a proper or a common noun. This is the case, for example, of CIL, VI 8534, traditionally referred to the ratio castrensis, but rather to refer to a pantomime named Castrensis, according to a new proposal, not of reading, but of transcription and interpretation of the text.
