Cuttings for Π-clamp at both ends. One pry-hole in top. Poor anathyrosis on left end and lower edge of back. Rough bosses left on face, near lower edge, toward ends. (Cf. Market of Caesar and Augustus.) Presumably a supplement to the series of A 2984 and A 2985 added in the Roman period. Pentelic marble. | |
