The Roman curse tablet outlined in Sam Moorhead’s article - “Cursing the Emperor” has featured in this morning’s Guardian in an article entitled “Rare find highlights antiquities fears” which has been followed up by a commentary piece by Lord Renfrew. This is an unique artefact on our database and provides a rare insight into the intrigues of a troubled Roman Empire under the Emperor Valens.
