Priene Inscription : ウィキペディア英語版 | Priene Inscription
The Priene Inscription is a dedicatory inscription by Alexander the Great that was discovered at the Temple of Athena Polias, in the city of Priene in Asia Minor (modern Turkey) in the nineteenth century. It now forms an important part of the British Museum's Ancient Greek epigraphic collection and provides a direct link to one of the most famous persons in ancient history.〔(British Museum Highlights )〕 This inscription (circa 330 BC) about the dedication of a temple by Alexander to Athena Polias, which has been held at the British Museum in London, should not be confused with the Priene Calendar Inscription (circa 9 BC) also found at Priene in Turkey, which is about Augustus Caesar, and about redefining the calendar around the birthdate of Augustus Caesar.〔The Priene Inscription: Or Calendar Inscription of Priene, available (online )〕 ==Discovery== The inscription was found in the precincts of the temple in 1868-9 by the architect Richard Pullan, who at the time was leading an archeological exploration of Priene on behalf of the Society of Dilettanti. The dedicatory inscription was found at the end of one of the temple's walls, together with records of the Prienean Civic Codes. Pullan brought back inscriptions, sculptures and architectural remains from the site to England, where they were immediately deposited in the national collection.
