Tables of Heraclea

Also known as Tabulae Heracleenses

The Tables of Heraclea are bronze tablets found in 1732 near Heraclea in Lucania, southern Italy. One side carries Greek texts of the 4th century BCE recording surveys of the sacred lands of Dionysus and Athena Polias; the other carries a Latin law of the 1st century BCE on Roman municipal affairs. They are kept in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.
