The inscription on the Roman altar of Gravesano (Ticino, Switzerland) is complete, but its reading is arduous because of the eroded surface and the natural texture of the stone. A first reading was established with traditional epigraphic techniques (autopsy and paper squeeze), but the text remained partially undeciphered. In order to enhance the readings of stone inscriptions, a more extensive and accurate technique was deemed necessary. This involved a collaboration between specialists in Roman epigraphy and in forensic science. We propose the use of forensic photogrammetry, which has proven to be useful in the study of archaeological objects. The high-quality photographs and the resulting 3D dynamic model were examined and the reading of the inscription could be confirmed and improved. The details of that procedure are exposed and illustrated in this paper. A link points to the PDF 3D file obtained from the original 3D dynamic model.
