Hi there, can someone find some information on this guy? I'm not able to locate anything that could assertain it's him. Same question for Q17346950. --Jahl de Vautban (talk) 18:02, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- He is mentioned in a Roman inscription found in Greece that is dated to the 2nd century AD. link, which provides some potentially useful sources. -- Llywrch (talk) 22:30, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- I was also able to find an inscription about Aurelius Rufinus of Legio XIII Gemina, link, another Roman inscription, this one from Cluj in Romania, dated AD 227. Someone truly likes to add obscure personages to this database. -- Llywrch (talk) 22:42, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- Many thanks @Llywrch:, I'm getting rusty to forgot about epigraphical databases... I'll create the inscriptions for references. @Alexmar983:: I'll try to model them according to the Epigraphy project ontology, that'll be some nice test. --Jahl de Vautban (talk) 07:35, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- Ok we should add a section about this to the guidelines of the Project Epigraphy...TBD (noted)--Alexmar983 (talk) 15:55, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- FWIW, the Latin ones are easy to search: just start at the Clauss / Slaby database, which covers practically all of them. (The trick there is crafting the strings to search with. Definitely read their help page first.) The Greek inscriptions are more difficult, because to the best of my knowledge there is no one central database. Still, I'd hope one was adding more prominent personages than ones mentioned only once in an otherwise unremarkable example. -- Llywrch (talk) 21:06, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
