For anyone interested in examining the format of the recovered Latin papyri:
1. A good microphotograph of one of the longer Ennius fragments is reproduced in M. Gigante, Philodemus in Italy (Ann Arbor 1995), pl. 5 2. Detailed photographs of the Gallus papyrus can be found in the original publication (Anderson, R.D., P.J. Parsons, and R.G.M. Nisbet. "Elegiacs by Gallus from Qasr Ibrim," JRS 69 (1979) 125-155.) 3. As for the Carmen de Bello Actiaco, there is a nice sketch of part of that ms. at: http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Scriptorium/Class/MurgImgs/carmen.html A more systematic collection of Latin papyri, somewhat dated now but still useful, can be had in R. Seider, Palaographie der Lateinischen Papyri (Stuttgart 1978) vols. 1&2. All of the early Latin mss. display interpuncts - not to mention various other punctuation marks whose significance is often quite hard to divine.
