Lilybaeum stele

[1] The stele was published in the Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum, having been supplied to Renan by Count Francesco Hernandez di Carrera.

[citation needed] It was found in Marsala (Roman Lilybaeum), in an area known as il Timpone di S.

It is a standard Punic votive inscription, dedicated to Baal Hammon by Hanno, son of Adonbaal:[3] The stele shows some important Phoenician religious symbols.

[5] Its significance was described by Georges Perrot and Charles Chipiez in 1885: ...the chief interest of the monument lies in the bas-relief on its upper part.

He is dressed in a robe falling to the feet and gathered in a band about the waist; a pointed cap is on his head.
