Carved relief of Claudius from the Sebasteion at Aphrodisias. In the centre of the scene, the emperor, naked, strides across the panel in vigorous motion, framed behind by a billow of drapery. He receives in his right hand a cornucopia with the fruits of the earth from a small figure emerging from the ground. On the right he receives a steering oar from a sea figure or marine tritoness. She has fish legs and a fish-scale skirt. Image and text adapted from the website of the Aphrodisias Excavations Project.

The little inscriptions from Tell Umm el Marra are causing a bit of a stir (a reading of one has just been suggested). I wish there were more finds contemporary with these... A big problem with "Early Alphabetic" is demonstrating it's a single tradition. www.scientificamerican.com/article/worl...
