Building inscription from Albingaunum

    Statements

    While the corageous, diligent, victorious, aptly-named Constantius was recovering Gaul and putting Liguria in order, he himself appointed a site for the walls and traced the foundations in the freshly-cut sod and gave an established constitution. Constructing buildings he set up a citizen body, habitations, a forum, harbours, commerce and gates, and, while he was recovering the world, he promoted me to be a leading city. He did not refuse that my gate should speak in an inscription, and to the furious waves of wicked tribes he opposed the wall of the name Constantius.
