The Hamadab stela (Amanirenas and Akinidad)
A long Meroitic cursive text naming Queen Amanirenas and Prince Akinidad, often taken to concern the war with Rome of the 20s BC; it can be read aloud but not translated. Commons photographs of it come in through media.yaml. The place is where it was found; it is now in London.
