Commentary

Nothing is known about the findspot, except that this undersize altar cames from Cyrene. A series was found in the enclosed sanctuary of Demeter and Kore, just outside the city-walls; this one might rather come from the sanctuary of Isis and other Alexandrine deities on the acropolis. However as it could be easily moved, it might also pertain to a domestic cult and come from a private house.
