Reconstuction of Tomb of the Lacedaemonians.
(403 BCE). A. Kubanek.
The inscribed block on the top course was originally
11 meters long and ran along the whole length of the
front wall. It read ìLAKEDAIMONIOIî (Spartans).
The letters were written from right to left on the
inscription, perhaps anticipating that people coming
from the country would see it as they entered the city.
