Description | Aalen, Building inscription (copy) |
Details | Above the entrance of the ancient settlement was an inscription, of which three fragments survive. Because the contents of this type of inscription are fairly stereotypical, almost the entire text can be reconstructed (three fragments in color, reconstruction in gray):
