![]() About the HERCLEAN TABLETS (from Wikipedia): ******The Heraclean Tablets (in older texts: the Heraclean Table(s) in Latin: Tabulae Heracleenses) were bronze tablets found a short distance from the site of Heraclea Lucania, between it and Metapontum. The map and 10 plates are all in amazingly good condition, sturdy and feel like they may have only been opened once or twice, they have some offsetting and age toning, and a few have a small tear to the edge of a bottom fold where the plate is bound into the book, but that is it, no significant tears and they are all bright, clean and clear. Internally, there is foxing on the first and last few pages, and a bit here and there the last few pages have some shorelining at the bottom gutter area not affecting text, the last page is age toned, the half title page is loose, is creased, and is worn at the edge where it became disbound, but it is present and still solid overall the inner pages are very nice, bright, clean, clear and unmarked. CONDITION: The covers are worn, scuffed, scraped and with light stains to the spine the front cover is disbound along with the front free endpaper and the half title page the rear cover is just hanging on with the binding cords (a good tug could disbind it). They are now held in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The tablets are especially important for the insights they gave on Roman Law. Found in a stream bed between 17 near Metaponto and recovered by Charles III of Bourbon. Important treatise relating to the bronze tables of Heraclea datable between the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 3rd century BC. Fold open Plate of Bowls following page 554.
