Question
Can you tell me where I can find information on the bas relief in the photograph shown here?:
http://www.geocities.com/kmx1818/kmx1818.html?1157663574215

If you don't recognize it, please give me any guess you may have about the person or event depicted or the historical period.  

Answer
Hello DAvid,


I don't recognize it, however the releif's information contains the word jusirsprudence.

Jurisprudence is the theory and philosophy of law. Students of jurisprudence aim to understand the fundamental nature of law, and to analyze its purpose, structure, and application.  

So, I deducting from the 'jurisprudence' as well as the central figure holding a book, this bas releif must have been on a building dealing with any of the following topics:


1  law
2  government
3  education
4  philosophy
5  society in general


Sorry I cannot be more specific, there is not enough information to give you a definite answer, but I hope that what I could give you may help.

Regards,

Iru

Expertise

Along with teaching classical Literature for over thirty-eight years, I have also taught history of the Greco-Roman cultures. History and Mythology are, in my opinion, inseparable; it is necessary to have a background in both to have a clear understanding of both ends of the spectrum, the myth and the fact.

Experience

Thirty-eight years of teaching.
