<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 2983184, member: 91461&quot;]Hey my fellow ancientaholics! I know this isn&#039;t a coin (though about the size of one), but I&#039;m so jacked about acquiring it I just had to share. When I saw it I couldn&#039;t resist putting in a bid at Agoras auction on Tuesday and won a small cuneiform tablet!</p><p>Cuneiform being one of the world&#039;s first writing systems and it being Babylonian I didn&#039;t know when I&#039;d have another chance at getting one.</p><p>I wish I knew what it said? </p><p>I&#039;ve read Babylonian is one of the more difficult forms to translate. I emailed the folks at Agora to see if there is any further info on the item (I would also like to know more about its provenance, Prof Reese collection?). No response yet.</p><p>Without further ado, check it out...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]734245[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Cuneiform Tablet. Old Babylonian, 20th-26th Century B.C. Ex Prof Reece collection. Clay tablet with one line of cuneiform on one side, other side and edges flaked off. 33x26 mm. ex Prof Reece collection, ca 1960&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>Pretty exciting!</p><p>Please post any cool ancient writing, symbols, art or whatever you find might apply...and any idea what this might say???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
