Commentary:
One of a group of votive offerings dedicated to Asklepios: three reliefs, 5.112 (=63.568), 5.117 (=63.570), 15.240 (=70.551), and a base, 4.113 (=90.26); the three with provenance were found in or near the Baths of Hadrian. We have benefited from comments made by the late Sara Aleshire.
