Altar of limestone (71 x 54 x 53 cm).

To good fortune.  Lucas son of Zenon, citizen of Nikaia and Nikopolis, dedicated the altar to Zeus Olympios (“of Mount Olympos”), Hera Zygia (“of Marriage”) and Athena Polias (“of the City”) from his own resources for the emperor-loving (philosebastoi) hymn-singers (hymnōdoi).
