    ANALYSIS
    Description This blank, rough-backed fragment has a likely slab edge along the right side.

    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.

    Significance This database includes the first public presentation of 394 blank fragments--they are not catalogued or illustrated in either of the two fundamental publications, PM 1960 and AG 1980.

    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).
