Thanks to Wind Rose Hotel for the heads up on this.
Made famous in the movie "Gladiator" the life and career of Marcus Nonius Macrinus was not quite as the film (not surprisingly) depicted it. Nonetheless, Macrinus was a major military figure in the Empire ruled by Marcus Aurelius.
It's an interesting discovery for world history as well as Roman and Italian archeology.
