SAYIN OĞRETMENLER BEN YOREMİZDE BULDUĞUM BİR TARİHİ ESERİN FOTOSUNU İSVİCREDEKİ GEREKLİ MERCİLERE İLETTİM VE BANA ŞOYLE BİR MESAJLA DONDULER AMA CEVVİREMİYORUM CEVİRENE + REPP..

Dear Fatih Inci,

the photograph you sent me shows a brick or a tile with the stamp of a Roman legion: legio XV Apollinaris. The letters and numbers of the stamp are LEG XVA (V and A appear to be written 'in one'). This legion had its garrison place at ancient Satala since early in emperor Hadrian's reign (AD 117-138) and it is still attested there at the end of the fourth century. Several more stamped tiles of this legion have been found at the site of ancient Satala. Most of them probably date to the second or third centuries AD.

I hope this information was of help and I send you our best greetings,
Michael A. Speidel
