Inscription in a Wreath of Ivy [reverse]

Circle of Vettor Gambello, called Camelio

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of an ancient inscribed bronze disc. The disc features Latin inscriptions arranged in horizontal lines, enclosed by a decorative border that follows the contour of the circular shape. The surface of the bronze appears aged, showing signs of patina and slight wear. The presence of holes on opposite ends of the disc suggests it might have been used for hanging or mounting.
