The Balustrade of Athena Polias Nikephoros in Pergamon

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Ruben I have to hurry so i don't miss the bus(and then I won't be able to take photos),but I can tell you the shord to the right is a kopis.Look carefully,yu'll notice there is a guard only fron the left side!You can also see than in Connolly,I think,but he believes this one is a xiphos.Note laso that both scabards are completely streight like a xiphos scabard(nothing to worry about,this is the case in many vases,too,where a hoplite is carrying a kopis in his hand and a streight scabard on his thigh).
Even the sword with the eagle pommel has the hilt in the center of the scabard,no matter it has a guard only in the right side.I hope you understand me.
I have to go now,the bus is leaving in half an houre!
