After going for a dive today, I had to think about After going for a dive today, I had to think about seeing these ruins last year from a distance when we were in Epidauros. This is the so-called sunken city of Epidauros. These are in fact the remains of a Roman villa from the second century AD which was accidentally discovered in 1970 by a picture from a hot air balloon. Aside from the ruins of the building that survived, swimmers can also spot fragments of about thirty huge earthen storage pots. This indicates that the building was used as storehouse for agricultural produce.

This is a tetradrachm from the Chalcidian League, This is a tetradrachm from the Chalcidian League, dated between 412 and 383 BC and minted by Olynthos, an important member of the league. The coins shows the head of a laureate Apollo looking right on the obverse and the inscription XAΛKI-ΔEΩN to right and left of lyre on the reverse. The Chalcidian league was one of the Greek federal states that arose in the late Classical and early Hellenistic periods in a new attempt to unite the Greek poleis. This particular state existed on the Chalcidian peninsula, on the shores of the northwest Aegean Sea, from around 430 BCE until it was destroyed by Philip II of Macedon in 348 BCE. #numismatics #numismatic #greek #greece #hellenistic #hellenisticgreece #hellenistichistory #hellenisticperiod #hellenisticcoin #greekhistory #greekcoins #greeknumismatics #chalcidice #olynthos #numismatical #apollo #coin #archaeology #archaeological #archaeologist #numismatist #ancienthistory
The Furietti centaurs are a pair of Hellenistic or The Furietti centaurs are a pair of Hellenistic or Roman sculptures that were found in Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli by Guiseppi Furietti in 1759 and can be seen at the Capitoline Museum. The pair were made of grey-black marble from Caria and represent two centaurs: a mature, bearded centaur and a younger one. They are generally presumed to be a Roman copy of a Hellenistic original of the second century BC. The Hellenistic originals were made of bronze and created by Aristeas and Papias of Aphrodisias. Their names survive on the plinths of the statues which say ΑΡΙΣΤΕΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΠΑΠΙΑΣ. The older centaur is lifting his front leg up, holds his hands on his back while leaning back. The indentation on his back indicated that there used to sit an Eros on his back. The young centaur raises his right arm and holds a lagobolon (a stick used for hunting hares) in his left hand. A wild boar’ skin is hanging down over his left arm and a small Eros also rode on his back. A copy of the older centaur was found in Rome in the 17th century. This time made of marble and carrying the god of love on his back. These centaurs were extremely popular in the 18th century and a bunch of modern replicas were made! #history #ancienthistory #ancientgreece #greece #rome #roman #romanhistory #roman #hellenistic #hellenistichistory #hellenisticsculpture #hellenisticstatues #greeksculptures #romancopy #hellenisticage #hellenisticperiod #hadrian #villahadriana #ancient #antiquity
This fragmentary colossal head of a youth is dated This fragmentary colossal head of a youth is dated to the second century BC can currently be seen in the MET in New York, normally it is housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. It was found in the gymnasium in Pergamon in the 19th century and has survived in remarkable condition aside from the break across his face. There are several similarities in the style of this marble head and idealised portraits of Alexander the Great, posing the theory that this is actually another portrait of the young conquerer. #history #met #pergamon #hellenistichistory #ancienthistory #hellenistic #greece #ancient #archaeology #archaeological #hellenisticsculpture #marble #marblestatue #ancientpergamon #antiquity #hellenisticage #hellenisticperiod #archaeologist #greeksculpture #hellenistickings
