Length and date ok; re the hook, my understanding of the source is that the absence of "monuments" is narrowly construed as meaning altars/stelai; however there is mention of estuco ?=stucco? - is that sculpted? Thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 18:18, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

There is no mention of the stucco being sculpted in the sources. However, even if it were, sculpted stucco would have been part of the decoration of a building and would not be classified as a sculpted monument. All the best Simon Burchell (talk) 06:45, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
