This is the one hundred and forty-first milestone.

This stone has two inscriptions, the one engraved on top of the
other. The restitutores of roads and bridges during the reign of
Diocletian-Maximian under C. Julius Flaccus Aelianus made use of
the old Milliaria, and caused inscriptions of Diocletian-Maximian to

inscriptions. Thus, as in this inscription and in others below, two
or even three inscriptions are found so mixed up that it requires
both patience and ingenuity to disentangle them.

To inscription A belong lines 1-3 and 8-15 inclusive, as well as
the ET at the beginning of line 7. After this ET there followed in
the original inscription of the Maximini the name of C. Julius Verus
