Editing Civitas Fortuna (section)

== Founding ==

A dedication inscription at (−1203, 66, 672) establishes the city's Roman civic identity:

<blockquote>'''S.P.Q.G. | Civitas Fortvna | A.V.C | MMDCCLXXV'''</blockquote>

* '''S.P.Q.G.''' — ''Senatus Populusque Gavrius'' — a deliberate parody of the Roman ''SPQR'' (Senatus Populusque Romanus), substituting the builder's name in place of "Romanus"
* '''Civitas Fortvna''' — the city's Latin name, written in classical form with V instead of U
* '''A.V.C MMDCCLXXV''' — ''Anno Urbis Conditae'' (Year of the Founded City) 2775 — the Roman calendar dating system. AUC 2775 converts to approximately '''2022 CE''', confirming the founding year. (Roman AUC dates from 753 BC: 2775 − 753 = 2022)
