This is one of the first men from a procession of sixteen elderly men in himatia. The block originates from the north side of the Parthenon. The frieze of the Parthenon forms a continuous band with scenes in low relief that completely encircles the upper part of the cella, the main temple within the outer colonnade. The theme depicted was the procession toward the Acropolis that took place during the Great Panathenaia, the commemoration of the birthday of the goddess Athena. Numbering taken from I. Jenkins, The Parthenon Frieze, 1994. Frieze slabs are marked in Roman numerals, people are numbered with Arabic numerals.
