    ANALYSIS
    Description The fragment is blank except for a horizontal inscription, MAGNI, at top and a vertical line along the left edge.

    Identification The wide gap between the last letter of the inscription and the right side of the fragment may indicate it was the end of the label, or at least represented a break in the sequence. The inscription must have labeled a feature to the left or at top of the fragment.

    Significance 3D digital matching may allow us to join this fragment to already identified and located areas on the Plan and help us identify the feature labeled with the inscription.

    HISTORY OF FRAGMENT
    Like the majority of FUR fragments, these now joined pieces were discovered in 1562 in a garden behind the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian. From here, they were transferred to the Palazzo Farnese and stored there. They were not among the fragments that were reproduced in the Renaissance drawings that are now kept in the Vatican, but Giovanni Pietro Bellori included them in his 1673 publication. In 1742, the fragments were moved to the Capitoline Museums and exhibited with some of the other known fragments in wooden frames along the main staircase. Since then, they have been stored with the other FUR fragments in various places: the storerooms of the Capitoline Museums (1903-1924), the Antiquarium Comunale (1924-1939), the Capitoline Museums again (1939-1955), the Palazzo Braschi (1955-1998), and since 1998 in the Museo della Civiltà Romana in EUR under the auspices of the Sovraintendenza ai Beni Culturali del Comune di Roma. (The history of these fragments corresponds to Iter E’ as summarized in PM 1960, p. 56.)
