Αρχαιολογικές ανασκαφές στον λόφο Καστά, Αμφίπολη

The 4th century BC marble Lion of Amphipolis, some 5 kilometers from the under excavation ancient tomb at Kastas hill in Amphipolis, northern Greece on August 14, 2014. Excavators of the mound, which is believed to contain a significant grave dating to the end of Alexander the Great’s reign, believe this lion originally formed part of a tomb monument that crowned the artificial hill. In the past, the lion, that was discovered a century ago, has been associated with Laomedon of Mytilene, one of Alexander’s military commanders who, after the king’s death in 323 B.C., became governor of Syria.
