[1] This rectangular cippus appears to have been an altar for the Emperor Nero. For other altars to Nero, see SEG 32.252 and on Nero and Athens, see SEG 32.251. It was found reused as a boundary stone on the edge of a late first-century or early-second century AD roadway, subsequently covered over by the propylon of the Library of Hadrian (A. Choremi, Arch. Delt. 45 B, 1990, 16 and A. Spetsieri-Choremi, Ostraka 4, 1995, 141-42).
