Tablet (\Tabula Iliaca\) Inscribed with a Historical Text, A.D. 16-20. Additional Info: Aside from the lower edge and what appear to be the remains of a tenon, no original edge is preserved. The front has a scene in low relief, with three figures on an undulating groundline- a kneeling male holding an object in his left hand and looking into what may have been a grotto; one horse and part of a second with the yoke and part of the wheel of a cart; and the head of a standing male, perhaps a servant holding the horses in the background. Below the groundline, a smooth beveled area with portions of a four line inscription that is broken at both ends (identified by Burstein 1989 as including fragments of three nonconsecutive sentences from a letter of Darius to Alexander, found in the Alexander Romance (2.17)). -
