Inscribed Tablet (about 350-250 BC)

Thirty-seven inscribed bronze tablets were found in a stone container in the Locrian sanctuary of Zeus Olympios. This tablet is characteristic of the group. It records payments and withdrawals from the sanctuary's treasury, and provides the titles of magistrates in charge of the temple's management. The tablet dates to the second half of the 4th century BC, when Locri's government was democratic.
