That's a tablet, not a laptop -- a wax tablet installed in a wood frame, so the writing would be protected after the item was closed, and the message delivered to, for intance, another ruler.

Looks a lot like the jewelry box my wife uses for her earrings, necklaces and bracelets.

Surely the ancient Greeks were tracking the hole
in our south-facing radar, Ninja frogmen, millions
of plastic caskets and sinister Chem-trails.
When Orly Taitz finally exposes this mystery much vindication will vindicate.
Any day now.

I’d guess it’s a polished metal mirror with protective cover based on the way the woman on the throne is admiring herself.

'I am not saying that this is depicting an ancient laptop computer,' said YouTuber StillSpeakingOut. He's saying it's aliens.

Of course it’s a laptop. But those aren’t USB ports. They didn’t have USB ports in ancient Greece, come on, people...

Someone drank a lot of ouzo to come up with this.
If Charlie Chaplin had had a time machine, he'd have used it to score underaged girls. ;')

That’s just proof that Greek culture was brought to us by the letter “L”.

A folding looking glass, somewhat like a very large rouge compact, is more like it. It would be available technology for the times, and it would be of a form similar to this.
A silver plate could easily function as a mirror. And calling it a “shallow chest” would rationalize its use as a container for facial enhancements, like some form of mascara or skin colorants.
Doubt if it was cigars, though.

But if you posit that Jesus Christ rose from the dead in order to give believers eternal life, people lose their minds........
