Abstract
The new technology that employs AI to interpret the images of Herculaneum papyri produced through – computed tomography (Micro-CT) reveals not only previously unknown texts but also a rich array of paratextual elements. The signs visible in the first papyrus examined using this method (PHerc.Paris. 4) correspond to those already known from other Herculaneum and Greco-Egyptian papyri. The only notable peculiarity appears beneath the final line, where a paragraphos is present instead of the more common coronis.File in questo prodotto:
