A tomb of the late second century BCE originally located near the Via Ostensis in the district of Rome now known as Testaccio. In antiquity, this was the area known as the Emporium. The tomb is visible on a fragment of the Severan marble plan of Rome and it lies between the Horrea Galbana and the “Porticus Aemilia”. It was rediscovered in 1885 and reconstructed on the grounds of the municipal antiquarium on the Caelian Hill. The tomb belongs to a Servius Sulpicius Galba and is likely to be that of either the consul of 144 BCE or the consul of 108 BCE.

Epigraphic evidence, uncovered in the 19th century, indicates the presence of this bridge, built at the direction of the Emperor Vespasian and his two sons Titus and Domitian by the Cilician governor L. Octavius Memor in 77 or 78 CE. The inscription, now lost, was reportedly found during construction of the current Taşköprü ("Stone Bridge") in the early 1870s. This 19th century bridge is often referred to as the "Roman Stone Bridge," despite its modernity.

The Tang-i Var rock relief of the eighth-century-BC Assyrian king Sargon II (r. 721–705 BC) is carved on a rock face of the Kūh-e Zīnāneh in the Tang-i Var pass in Iranian Kurdistan, about 50 km southwest of Sanandaj and 85 km northwest of Kermanshah. This difficult-to-reach relief was carved in a niche cut into the cliff face about 40 m above ground level. The Akkadian inscription, now badly weathered, records several of Sargon II’s campaigns, especially the military expeditions against the land Karalla, against which the Assyrian army campaigned in 716, 713, and 706 BC.
