Dodona: Lead tablet

Lead tablet found at Dodona. 5th c. BCE.

Lead tablet found at Dodona. Devotees submitted their questions to the oracle inscribed on lead sheets. They give us a rare glimpse into the worries of the common people of ancient Greece. The lead sheet pictured here reads "Εαποδάμον τύχοιμίκα επί τάν τέχναν; (If I emigrate, will I succeed in my craft?).
Exhibited at the Ioannina Archaeological Museum. Epirus, Greece.
