Just imagine the patience, labor, and craftsmanship involved with making this. Just incredible.

I object to the author’s use of the word ‘murder’ in this phrase: “.....from the Trojar War depicting the murder of Hector’s son Astyanax (Scamandrius) by Achilles’s son Neoptolemus”
It was War and death by combat - not murder.

I know from my hobby of ancient coins that a lot of discoveries have been made in the recent pasti.e. since the fall of communism through the use of metal detectors.
