Annotations
A collection of objects found at the house of Simon the Cobbler during the Ancient Agora excavations. A series of buttons/eyelets are carved from bone and ivory (BI 738), as well as a number of hobnails (IL 1361), iron pieces nailed into the soles of shoes to increase durability and grip. Finally, a base (P 22998) from a kylix (a drinking cup with a wide drinking bowl and a short, stout stem) bears the inscription of it's owner in the genitive, "ΣΙΜΟΝΟΣ," "Simon's."
