Collection description
The papyrus is relevant from the juridical point of view, since it contains one of the few Latin chirographa on papyrus, as well as from the historical viewpoint. The text (l. 3) mentions the Legio X Fretensis, which was stationed in Jerusalem by Titus in 70 CE just after the end of the first Jewish war (see e.g. Dąbrowa [1993] 9), along with the toponym in which the contract was signed (l. 2), supplemented as Coloṇ[iam Caesaream by Arangio-Ruiz (1948) 262. In fact, P.Mich. VII 445 is the only Latin papyrus to have been certainly written in Jerusalem. The provenance is unknown, for the papyrus was purchased in London in 1925, 2nd May, but it is likely to have been brought from Jerusalem to Egypt by a veteran.1 It was dated to 188 CE on the basis of the consular date in l. 1 (partially supplemented), which would point to the second consulships of both Seius Fuscianus and Marcus Servilius Silanus.
