Was the 'Nazareth Inscription' a Roman response to Jesus' empty tomb? New evidence says it wasn't. (punishment, judgement)

[Pruzhany]

A stern warning carved in Greek on an ancient marble slab declared that a Roman emperor would pass harsh judgement on grave robbers, promising a severe punishment for their crimes. This artifact, known as the Nazareth Inscription, was long suspected to be an official Roman response to the disappearance of Jesus' body from its tomb.

However, new evidence suggests otherwise.

I read about that a month or so ago, though I don't remember exactly where I read it. It takes nothing away from the fact of Jesus' empty tomb.

But that means you can’t use it as proof...

I never used the Nazareth Inscription as proof of the empty tomb in the first place.
