A quick visit to Macedonia

Post by system1988 »

Hello everybody

The following photos are amateur to say the least and the lighting didn't help at all.

The first one needs no introduction. Location: Aegae Necropolis

The second one, Location: Aegae Museum- Part of Philip's palace.

The third one, Location: Aegae Museum - Gold cinerary vessel. It contained the bones of an adolescent and the gold oak wreath. The vessel, placed inside the bronze cauldron, was hidden in the sacntuary of Eukleia together with 2 more cinerary vases, an urn and an amphora which among others contained a gold olive wreath, 325-300 BC.
