    ANALYSIS
    Description Both the front and the back surface on this fragment are rough, but there are no other distinguishing features.

    Identification There were many blank areas on the Marble Plan, including the spaces occupied by the Tiber River (see fragment 24d), by gardens, arenas, temple precincts and courtyards--in short, any space devoid of architecture or human construction. In addition, several rows of large marble slabs occupied the entire lower part of the wall of the aula on which the Plan was installed, and perhaps other walls as well. Blank fragments like this one could have originated from any of these areas. However, there are no similarities between this piece and other FUR fragments, and it is doubtful that it belonged to the Marble Plan.

    HISTORY OF FRAGMENT
    Blank fragments were not kept during the early centuries of the Marble Plan's rediscovery. Surviving pieces like this one probably come from excavations done since 1867 (PM 1960, p. 163).
