Clay Tablet about Women

National Museum of Iran

Achaemenid Era (1st Mill. B.C.)

A clay Inscription, used as report (seems to be accountancy) about rewards submitted to the women workers of Persepolis, who gave birth recently:
"In 19th year, 8th month, 31 units of wine are distributed as special bonus among 22 women who delivered a boy and 18 women who delivered a girl."

The history continues, at least here in Spain, but now instead of wine the mothers receive money (named baby check)! Great documentary image. -V-
