Horseracing rules found on 2,000-year-old tablet in central Turkey

Horseracing rules written on a 2,000-year-old tablet were uncovered in the Bey?ehir district of the Central Anatolian province of Konya on May 2.   

The tablet, which is part of the Lukuyanus Monument, was apparently built to honor a jockey named Lukuyanus, who died at an early age in the Pisidia era.
