A Latin inscription set up by the road leading into Monteleone Sabino (RI), Italy from ancient Trebula Mutuesca. The text is CIL IX, 4894, but the last 3 lines are now apparently buried.

Latin

Latin (ⁱ/ˈlætɨn/; Latin: lingua latīna; IPA: [ˈlɪŋɡʷa laˈtiːna]) is an ancient Italic language originally spoken by the Italic Latins in Latium and Ancient Rome. Along with most European languages, it is a descendant of the ancient Proto-Indo-European language. It originated in the Italian peninsula. Although it is considered a dead language, many modern languages (the Romance languages) are in fact living continuations of this language. Additionally, many students, scholars, and members of the Christian clergy speak it fluently, and it is still taught in primary and secondary and many post-secondary educational institutions around the world.
