New Evidence about the Hoplite Relief (Athens, National Museum 1959)

View through CrossRef
The relief, on a marble stele, was originally published in 1903 by D. Philios. The present article gives a reconsideration of it. It is concluded that the relief, dated c. 510 BC, is funerary, not votive, and was reused subsequently in a wall, probably the fourth-century fortification wall.
