ABSTRACT
Discovered in Hadrumetum at the beginning of the 20th century, a small collection of curse tablets travelled to Paris, where they entered the collection of the Bibliothèque nationale de France in 1903. These documents provide a perfect case to study curse tablets and their material context in a holistic way, from production/composition to ritual and intentional deposit in a grave. The aim of this contribution is to offer the results of a new autopsy carried out on two of these Latin curses (DT 277 and 278), which are agonistic in nature and were written by the same professional practitioner before being deposited in the same tomb. Among other results, I present here the new textual and iconographical data discovered during the autopsy, together with a new proposal for the relative placement of the different fragments, which, in my opinion, belong not to two but to a single tablet.
