Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Sandwich Marble, so called because is was brought to England in 1739 by John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. It is said that this same earl was responsible for the invention of the sandwich. The lower part of the stone, found near the River Ilissos in Athens, is now in the Epigraphical Museum of Athens. The Greek inscription, like most classical Athenian inscriptions, is written in a regular, grid-like arrangement. It sets out the accounts of the Athenian administrators of the sanctuary of Apollo on the island of Delos, one of the largest and wealthiest sanctuaries in the Greek world. 377-373 BC. Marble. Lent by Trinity College, Cambridge. Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, England. |
