Picture of an archer - identification
#6
Apoulian colonies were composed from residents of various mainland city states. Here for instance we see a shield device from Elefsina.
The archer is wearing a doric pilos.

People identify images from the clothing but we canot rule out the possibilty that the artist had seen a Greek archer incorporating "foreign" items in his kit or a "barbarian" archer incorporating "Greek" items on his kit.

Please remember also that the colonies employed large numbers of mercenaries.

Kind regards
