A Votive Relief to Asclepius
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 October 2013
Extract
The National Museum of Athens has recently acquired a votive relief of a remarkable and perhaps unique character. It was found in Athens in January, 1904, during the excavation of a cellar in the house of E. Bosnopoulos, situated to the south of the Military Hospital and not far from the Asclepieion, whence it is likely that it was brought. In accordance with the Greek law of antiquities it was deposited in the Museum and has now been set up in the Hall of Votive Reliefs.
