The Abu Qir medallion
Hello, I came across this Abu Qir medallion, the Alexander Medallion, kept in a German museum (I think...). OK, so I was looking and looking, and those Alexander's attributes (the hair, the leaned look etc.) do not appear there. The only relation to Alexander are on the reverse: the words Basilews A...

Re: Scientists to scan remains of King Philip II
A good site for anyone wishing to know more about grand Macedonian tombs is this one of Elizabeth Carney, which is fairly comprehensive : http://people.clemson.edu/~elizab/aegae.htm Great site!

Re: Scientists to scan remains of King Philip II
Hi Alexias, But they dont aim at human remains, just want to find out which substance is that, and if it is helping at the deterioration of the larnax somehow... The "human remains" thing lies only on the analysis of the remaining bone pieces (I think skull remains?). By the way, any idea ...

Re: A Tale of two Susas?
Hi Susa, How lovely to hear from you after so long - welcome back on to Pothos as a regular contributor (I hope). All the best :oops: :oops: Thank you Marcus, except I think there may be a case of mistaken identity here, since I am another Susa, whose pothos participation has been strictly in lurk ...

Re: Whee "foot soldier" :D
You could, if single-minded enough and with nothing else to do, simply post a letter or two a thousand times. I suspect you might then find yourself a "Cleitus": run through with a sarisa by a somatophylake - if not the king - and just as dead (forum-wise). An open death threat to a lady?...

Nice: I am a Pezhetairos in Pothos!
And I am very surprised that I have managed 25 posts! God!
How many posts does one has to produce to be a "Veteran"?....

Re: John Latsis Books of Greek Museums, courtesy of system19
This is one book to have at home for the delight of the soul! I searched the John Latsis website for online purchasing, but 'm afraid there is no such thing. Bleh. I am glad for the books' acceptance. It's not only the awesome photos, but the text is also written by prestigeous scientists. Let me a...
