Origin and Provenance |

Script Commentary |
Script is a neat and delicate Rustic capital, not of the oldest type: F descends below the line; G has the uncial form; H is K-shaped, resembling h with an inverted virgula over the bow; the first and last strokes of M tend to become upright; V is approaching the uncial form. |
