Definition: The Corbridge Lanx is a beautiful solid silver decorative platter from the 4th century A.D. found in excellent condition on the banks of the River Tyne at Corbridge (Latin: Coriosopitum), near Hadrian's Wall, in the UK, in 1735.
The plate shows a scene of the gods, with Apollo, Athena, and Artemis clearly represented. Two other female figures may be Apollo and Artemis' mother, Leto, and Ortygia. The scene is thought to depict a shrine of Apollo, with an Apollo-associated griffin in the foreground, possibly at Delos.
