Quote:The Volos Archaelogical Museum in... Volos! Its main exhibit is the collection of painted Hellenistic stelae from Pagasai and Demetrias. It seems that almost all are civilian (and many very well preserved), but there are a few soldiers in there. Chalkokedes is the only military stele I've ever seen a picture or a good description of, though.Sounds great -- take plenty of pictures!
Stelae:
