About This Book
The author briefly summarizes the story of the adjective 'eoigena'. He describes the events that brought to light in the "Area Christianorum" of the ancient Stabiae a tombstone from the Hadrianic period containing this term, the studies that concluded that it is an absolute hapax, the proposals for a translation of it and, finally, the recognition that it is an original latin term.

But above this layer, about three meters below the ground level, in correspondence with the sacristy, the scene changed: plastered walls appeared, decorated with bands and multicolored birds, noble sepulchres, decorated with marble, and others more humble, simple blocks covered with roof tiles and imbrices. Furthermore, tombstones, pieces of marble, columns appeared, and even the entrance to an "OFFICINA CORIARUM", as it was written on the sign that had been preserved.
