| Title | Monumento con dedica di Callimaco di Afidna | |||||||||||
| Abstract (max. 650 characters with spaces included) | L’iscrizione si compone di diversi frammenti, rinvenuti
durante gli scavi condotti sull’acropoli di Atene tra il 1840 e
il 1888: alcuni di tali frammenti provengono dal Perserschutt. Riuniti per la prima volta da Habbo Lolling nel 1891, tali frammenti risultavano parte di una colonna di stile ionico, sulla cui sommità si ergeva la statua di una divinità alata, verosimilmente una Nike. | |||||||||||
