The board consists of three concentric squares, with straight lines connecting the center of each side of the outermost square to the corresponding center of each side of the innermost square.
Second photo shows the front of a rectangular, inscribed altar, bearing a five-line Latin text in early imperial characters with common abbreviations ... 1/2
I've been bingeing the old Planet of the Apes #movies this weekend. Fun classic #scifi. There was a noticeable drop in the writing quality after the first movie, and the third has some goofy humor for some odd reason (Star Trek IV, anyone?), but I'm liking them.

I'm reading Philostratus' "On Heroes", and it's delightful. It is an alternate history of the Trojan War, but the best part is the frame story:
The whole thing is told by an old gardener who is on friendly terms with the ghost of a Greek hero who fell at Troy. The gardener works the fields around the grave, and the hero visits him quite often to chat, do some hoeing, and occasionally exercise. Oh and he is fifteen feet tall.
