Our Flickr albums changelog:

New
- Added IPerge (Die Inschriften von Perge) Greek & Latin inscriptions, some with transliterations.
- Added Lycian rock-cut tomb and sarchopagus inscriptions with short descriptions. All include corpus references and the owner names.

Improved
- Added a big fragment of TL 44, the broken end of the obelisk standing on the ground, somehow hidden (the other fragments are buried in the British Museum’s website).
