We have also examples of a stonecutter not satisfied with its job. In this example from Salona (Solin) the stonecutter has decided to turn the stone of 90° and then write the inscription again, in a better way, perhaps because he was not happy with the layout or with the overall result. In the second example (the one in the photo) the stone was turned over completely.
