The Villaricos Phoenician stele is a 5th-century BCE Phoenician or Punic limestone funerary stele found in 1903–04 in the Villaricos necropolis, Spain. Villaricos is located south of Cartagena, which was once an ancient Punic city at the mouth of the river Almanzora. The stele was discovered by Luis Siret, who was conducting excavations in the region.[1] Siret sent a photograph of the stele to Alfred Louis Delattre, a scholar of Punic epigraphy. Delattre, in turn, communicated the finding to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in a letter to Philippe Berger in 1904.[2] It is on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid (Inv. no. 1907/32/7).[3]
