Gallio Inscription

Gallio Inscription. An important archeological find at Delphi for Christians is the Gallio inscription. The inscription is from emperor Claudius to Gallio the proconsul of Achaia (Ancient Greece) and it dates Gallio’s term as proconsol to about summer of AD 50 to AD 51 or 52 (usually a 1 year, sometimes 2 year post). In Acts 18, Paul is brought before the proconsol Gallio while in Corinth. This helps date Paul’s second missionary journey.
