Quintus Marcius trilingual inscription
The Quintus Marcius trilingual inscription is a Latin-Greek-Punic trilingual inscription on stone, found in 1899 in Henchir-Alouin, near Uthina, in the outskirts of Tunis, Tunisia. The Phoenician script is dated between the fall of Carthage in 146 BC and the beginning of the Christian era.
The inscription is engraved on a stone object, decorated at the top and the bottom with molding, perhaps a lintel or, more probably, an altar.
The Latin inscription has been published as CIL VIII, 24030 CIL and the Punic inscription as RES 79.
The object is currently in the Louvre (ID AO 3240).
