The Balustrade of Athena Polias Nikephoros in Pergamon

[Duncan Head]

In the 'Battle of Cunaxa illustration' thread, I promised to try and find that Lykian warrior stele (inspired by Duncan Head's words that it might not be lost), as soon as I find a chance to go to Konya. So, last Sunday I went there on a day trip with our university's archaelogical society, of which I'm also a member. And I found that stele or at least what seems to be it. :lol: It looks slightly different from that 19th c. drawing. Perhaps, it was slightly damaged since that time. But the sickle sword is still distinguishable.

That's marvellous, Laran: laudes! I can see most if not all of the differences from Teixier's drawing that Adrian Nayler pointed out in the Slingshot article. Very interesting indeed.
