Abstract

This paper presents the second one of the two newly discovered curse tablets from Aquincum, Pannonia. It gives a reading for both of its sides after considering the letter-types, onomastical features, invoked deities, magical formulas, technical mistakes and vulgar Latin characteristics of the text. These traits show the tablet was worded in close connection with the other one, but they were not written by the same hand.
