The Lyon Tablet is an ancient bronze tablet that bears the transcript of a speech given by the Roman emperor Claudius. The surviving bottom portion of the tablet was discovered in 1528 at Croix Rousse Hill (on the site of the Sanctuary of the Three Gauls), in Lyon, France. He made the inscribed speech before the Roman Senate in 48 AD. It was a proposal to allow moneyed, landed citizens from further Gaul to enter the Senatorial class, and thus the Senate itself, once they had reached the necessary level of wealth.
