To my opinion, it can't be a modern forgery because it was made before
firing —it is clear on the picture (such inscriptions are not rare).
Morever, the handwriting would perfectly fit the first century A.D. (i.
e. the archaeological context).

are we quite certain the inscription is not a modern forgery?
