Erastus Inscription
Discovered: Corinth, Greece
From: (c. AD 50)

Paul wrote to the Romans from Corinth. In his epistle he mentions "Erastus" the city treasurer.

In 1929 an inscription was found at Corinth that said that "Erastus laid the pavement at his own expense." This inscription was dated to the same time period as Paul's letters, (~AD 50).

"Gaius my host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the treasurer of the city saluteth you, and Quartus the brother."
Romans 16:23

Notable Finds

Much of what is described in Bible text is lost to history, requiring readers to assume the historicity of the scriptures.

However, many of the places and events described in the Old and New Testaments are periodically corroborated by archeological finds.

Some finds simply help us to better understand things from the ancient world. However, others provide important evidence as to the truth of scripture regarding things about which there had previously been skepticism.
