It is made from a flat foil like layer of gold and is dated around 1650 BC. It was created by chiselling facial details into the sheet of gold which had been pounded onto a wooden mould before creating round, bald faces with exaggerated features: this man has quite a profound nose. It is an example of the répousse style. #goldenmask #deathmask #mask #gold #hellenisticgram #hellenistichistory #history #mycenaen #mycene #mycenae #historian #archaeology #archaeological #archaeologist #greece #greek #ancienthistory #bronzeagegreece #greece #myceneangreece #greekhistory #mycenaeanhistory #golddeathmask

    A Silver tetradrachm from the island of Rhodes, m A Silver tetradrachm from the island of Rhodes, made around 400 BC. In 408 BC, the three major cities on the island of Rhodes - Kameiros, Lindos, and Talysos - formed a civic alliance and created a new city, also named Rhodes, on the north of the island. The sun god Helios appeared on the obverse of the new coinage instituted at that time, and the reverse displayed a rose (rhodos in Greek), the emblem of the island. #hellenistickings #ancienthistory #archaeology #archaeological #ancientgreece #greece #ancient #hellenistichistory #numismatics #greekcoins #ancientmacedon #hellenistickingdom #numismatics #greeknumismatics #rhodes #rhodos
