Acquired in Paris in 1910, this marble sculpture from around 410 BC is a significant artifact of ancient Greece. Depicting two Athenian citizen soldiers from the final phase of the Peloponnesian War, it showcases their bravery and skill with large round shields, lances, and cone-shaped pilos helmets. The bearded man on the left, dressed in the robes of an Athenian priest, is likely a seer who consults before battle, a crucial ritual for the city-state's warriors. This remarkable relief sculpture is part of "Scan The World," a groundbreaking initiative created by MyMiniFactory to provide free access to fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks, and landmarks worldwide.
