Neo-Babylonian Clay Tablet, 560BC Neo-Babylonian Clay Tablet, 560BC
This cuneiform tablet is fascinating in that it constitutes one of the earliest known written official/legal contracts. It is written by a former slave owner, conferring freedom on a slave and her family in perpetuity.

The really interesting part is the curses and threats to anyone attempting to re-enslave her or her family. They knew how to threaten in those days!

 


Price:  £22.00 / $36.08
