An excavation team working in Lebanon has found a lead plate believed to date between the second and fourth centuries that was apparently used to invoke the spirits of the dead.
This 6-cm-wide, 14.7-cm-long plate was discovered near the entrance of an underground grave which is adorned with an ancient Greek text, "May the unjust be removed from them" and "May signs of a gag and shame, and disgrace be given to them," along with the names of four people.
