The inscription, written in Latin letters, reads: "SACRUM HANC STATUAM AENEAS HIC FECIT," which translates to "This statue is sacred. Aeneas made it here." The discovery of this artifact provides valuable insights into the reverence and admiration the Romans held for their mythological ancestors and the importance they placed on preserving their heritage.
