This was created for a history project that required speculation of an alternative resolution to the Melian Dialogue and hence should not be taken as the historical solution; it instead aims to recreate a piece of communication that would be authentically accurate. Additionally, since it was only necessary to use this in 2D, the opposite faces used the same UV maps so the decree would be seen on both sides of the stone as it is. This is also why a height map was able to suffice instead of using a program such as Zbrush to carve out the lettering.
