Hi all Just communicating the head of the excavation words she stated yesterday on the air worldwide: The tomb dates back to the 325BC and 300 BC. It is a monument of global interest. The tumulus surveyed the entire city as well as the cemetery grounds. This is my personal take on the matter: I cann...

Kassandros promises to give Olympias a ship on which to escape to Athens, this would suggest she was at a port, which Pydna is but neither Amphipolis or Pella are; though it would not preclude her travelling to one from either of these, of course but Kassandros was no fool, and whilst he had manage...

http://www.athensvoice.gr Whole sphinxes and detail (How nice nails ).IV century bC.

And the Amphipolis Lion has a mane, so not Roxane but a male occupant, not a general either but royal just because of the scale. Or, perhaps a mass burial of war dead, that might be more useful than the Royal tomb, still mystified as to why the Romans might destroy it, maybe the Lion was targeted a...

The coin illustrated is clearly from Chios, which is visible reading down the lefthand side of the reverse. Chios was not alone in using the sphynx on its coins, but Amphipolis never did, winged gorgon heads, Dionysus, Artemis, Tyche and many others butno sphynxes; this is just more disinformation....

Hi all Here is a link to some photos of ancient greek art sphinxes I thought you would want to see. The one with the female breasts is from the hellenistic era. The rest are from archaic and classic eras. http://s1246.photobucket.com/user/IamSystem1988/media/Sphinxes/DSC04642_zpsdb7b8e2a.jpg.html?so...

Nice to see you back, Andrew. Here's a photo shich show the entrance a bit better and the size of the mound ancient-tomb-greece-sphinx-macedonia.jpg In Andrew's first picture, you can see the holes where the wings were attached. As Pauline mentioned, they seem to have been removed (by the archaelog...

Dear all, Because I am that awful sort of forum member who only turns up every seven or so years (somewhat like a comet, I suppose), I am completely out of touch with what happens here these days. If I'm breaking any sort of formal or informal rule here (by speculating wildly on no grounds whatsoev...

Is there any reason it can't be Antipater's tomb? Or maybe Craterus? The lion makes me think it is a man's tomb rather than a woman's, possibly a soldier and maybe one who had died in battle. It might not have been Cassander who buried him, but maybe Polyperchon, or perhaps Cassander wishing to pro...
