V.1.26 Pompeii. Drawing of wax tablets by Niccolini.

According to Nicolini –

“In July of 1875 these were found above the portico of the peristyle, in the space of about half a cubic metre, neatly collected, one hundred and thirty-two writing tablets (libelli), including triptychs, diptychs and single ones, engraved with a stylus on tablets coated with wax. Unique example found to date, and since described by Professor De Petra, current Director of the National Museum.”
