PHILOTERA AMYMONES These highly original gold bracelets, where the two names of the deceased lady are inscribed inside the perforated rectangular spaces, were found in a grave in the Kerameikos Cemetery and dated between 200-225 AD. A reminder of the artistic vitality of Athens, 6 centuries after the great sculpture of the grave stelae glorified this large Cemetery of ancient Athens. And also a reminder of the civility of the City of Athens just one or two generations before a band of Germanic tribes, the Herouloi, destroyed it in 267 AD. / Athens, National Archaeological Museum, Jewelry Collection
