“A Message in a Scroll” – Unwrapping a Roman scroll

Magdolna Gardánfalviné Kovács

In 2002, in Pécs, during the rescue excavation carried out in the yard of the Nagy Lajos Gimnázium of the Cistercian Order, a silver scroll containing a magical text or else a Necromancy was found in one of the graves. At the request of András Szabó, archaeologist evaulating the find, the artefact was restored and unwrapped by the author. At the end of the multi-stage procedure, when the extremely thin silver plate was unwrapped, the text on the unique find could be read out.
