The Temple of Apollo at Delphi
The Delphi Inscription, or Gallio Inscription at Delphi (also Gallio Inscription), is the name given to the collection of nine fragments of a letter written by the Roman emperor Claudius c. 54 CE and discovered early in the 20th century at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, Greece.[1][2] Its mention of the proconsul Gallio provides an important marker for developing a chronology of the life of the Apostle Paul.[3]
