Aristion\'s tombstone
#2
Thanks for posting Jona.

The original is in the National Meuseum of Athens
Unpainted copy is on the Marathon tomp where the original was found.
ARISTION means brave or the one who fulfilled his combat duty with bravery.

He carries the sympol of Apollo on the shoulderguards upper part and the "gorgoneio" of Athena on the lower part both as talismans.
Inteesting the blue felt as arming cup on his head.

Kind regards
