On June 17, 2013, the ‘Ayn Gharandal Archaeological Project found a large Latin inscription resting face-down directly above the collapsed arch stones of the main gate of the Late Roman fort (figs. 1–2). Once lifted, the inscribed face of the block was found caked with sand, obscuring any details save for the borders of a carved tabula ansata and one or two letters of its text which still bore traces of red paint, to preserve which the stone was transfered, by permission of the Department of Antiquities of Jordan, directly to the conservation laboratory of the American Center of Oriental Research in Amman, where it has been consolidated (fig. 3).
