"Moon Plate". 4th century AD. Marble plaque (60 x 50 cm) that depicts an aediculae, partly engraved and partly in bas-relief, framing the figure of a crescent moon that has been sunk (in the fourth quarter), and the corresponding title in a moon. The aediculae is raised on a low pedestal edged by a cable at the top. At both ends of the cable are columns with an attic base, with a plinth, a smooth shaft and a composite capital. The temple is crowned by a high triangular pediment, bordered on three sides by a cable. Two small rosettes with sunken four petals are placed in the spandrels. From Mer
