commentary

This document is part of a group of seven tesserae (ISic030270, ISic030304-ISic030308) found during a survey in 1990 in the area north of the temple of Athena, where a large deposit (c. 150) of lead tesserae was previously found. In addition to the tesserae, a piece of metal and two coins were found by Di Stefano. Most of the tesserae found are now legible thanks to the restoration carried out in 2014 by Dr. C. Antigoni.
