Abstract：
A votive offering or ex-voto includes a variety of usually non-professional artworks offered to divinities and placed in religious sites to fulfill a vow or in gratitude for recovery from an illness or injury. Unfortunately, the ancient period lacks a scientifically verifiable understanding of the true nature of cancer and its natural history and, consequently, a lack of effective treatment. This paper discusses two ex-votos potentially related to breast cancer distant more than 2000 years, one from the other. The ex-votos convey the complex relationship of humans with illness through an art expression stemming from the heart and minds of ordinary people.

奉献或前声包括向神灵提供的各种通常非专业的艺术品，并放置在宗教场所，以履行誓言或感谢从疾病或伤害中康复。不幸的是,古代时期对癌症的真实性质及其自然历史缺乏科学可验证的理解，因此,缺乏有效的治疗。本文讨论了两个可能与2000多年远的乳腺癌相关的前votos，一个从另一个。前votos通过源于普通人心灵的艺术表达来传达人类与疾病的复杂关系。
