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...

Now I have to move up the ranks myself

Hee, with such an ID, it is highly improbable you'd ever use deception, my dear

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! Astonishing things. And, whatever the late Dr. Andronikos found there, in spite of whom etc., he did an a...

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 ...

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 ...

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?...

I'm not mad at you at all, Susa. Good ploy!

But what of Veteran?!

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"?....

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for sharing! Lovely base picture, with the men.

THERE ARE MANY VOLUMES, COVERING A NUMBER OF MUSEUMS.....WHICH ONE WERE YOU THINKING OF ACQUIRING? Oh dear, I want the Pella Museum one, this e-book one. It is so well researched, that the writers even point at the possible origins of the word "Pella".... Wonderful piece! Well, but really...

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...
