 * Symbol confirmed.svgle was five days old when nominated. Not previously linked from front page. More than five thousand characters of prose. Not stub. The article is well-referenced with inline refs and proper citations to impressive scholarly sources. The article tone is definitely encyclopedic. No disputes or edit-warring. The image is CC-BY with confirmation in OTRS and passes the other tests. Hooks: I prefer the term "pre-3rd century" rather than "ancient", and my personal preference is for the first. All three hooks are of right length and backed up by sources. Text is original. Good To Go! MartinPoulter (talk) 22:31, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
