Thanks to the Department of Religious Studies at Yale University for a grant that covered many of our travel expenses.
Thanks to my colleague, Dr. Jaime Clark-Soles, for contributing some additional photos, as noted in each case.
Thanks also to Bill Thayer (see his Lacus Curtius) for several corrections and helpful comments,
