The website can only cope with quite simple pictures. It's clear you've resized this one, so it might fit, now.

Nice photographs, Gioi and Stefanos! :twisted:
Re: High crests - hoplite14gr - 04-08-2006
Aint mine I just aid friends to post!
The kylix on the shiled was the sign of Demos of Kropea-modern Koropi.
They probably held the center of the line in Marathon.
Kind regards
Re: High crests - Susanne - 04-09-2006
Where is the kylix shield device? Are you referring to the kantharos?
I like the pelte, with those evil eyes... :twisted:
Re: High crests - hoplite14gr - 04-09-2006
Apologies :oops:
Yes I mean the kantharos.
Thracians:
Eyes only on pelta Odryssians
Eyes with red mouth and white teeth Dioi. DanZ has done an excellent reconstruction.
Hoplon devices:
One eye on shield: PANTEPOPTES-the all seeing.
Used as "crusading"symbol in the "Holy Wars" against those who had usurped the Delphic Oracle and by the Athenians suppressing revolts of their allies.
Usually means -no mercy, no quarter!
Kind regards

Yes I was lucky enough to touch it during our visit in the British Meusum. It is 5th century B.C. and comes from a donation of a private individual. They are trying to catlogue it and log it based on a German comperhensive catalogue containing very comperhensive info.
Kind regards
