Tabula Iliaca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Tabula Iliaca is a generic label for a calculation of the days of the Iliad, probably by Zenodotus, of which numerous fragmentary examples are now known.
One of the most complete examples surviving is the Tabula Iliaca Capitolina in the Capitoline Museums in Rome. These objects are small pictorial representations of the Trojan War, often with textual captions.
