A 1,600-year-old lead defixio (curse tablet) with a drawing turned out to be the first known surviving curse directed at a Roman senator:
“May Fistus dilute, languish, sink and may all his limbs dissolve …”
The drawing depicts a snake-headed deity, possibly Hekate, with her arms crossed and a star over her groin. The crossed arms symbolise the binding of the deity to the curse. The goddess will remain bound until its terms are fulfilled.
