Lapis Lacedaemonius

• ( Back to T:TDYK
• Article history )

• ... that Lapis Lacedaemonius, a volcanic rock known today only from a single source, has been used as decoration in places as far apart as London, Venice and Palermo?

• ALT1:... that Lapis Lacedaemonius is volcanic rock known to have been processed by Neanderthals?

• You could get a good image by cropping a piece from Image:Villa_Adriana_Opus_Sectile.jpg. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 15:29, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
• 16px The page is new enough, and created by the nominator. It is referenced. Also it is large enough. The first hook fails to mention London, so perhaps the article needs a change? Hook alt1 however makes it into the article and is referenced, but it is an AGF as I cannot read the reference. However google search reveals that this material is real and not a hoax. No copyvio found. QPQ performed and accepted. So good to go with alt1. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 15:36, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
