Soldier Relief 2

photo

Just left of the center of the image note the relief carved into the limestone cliff of a soldier in battle garb receiving his helmet from a naked page.

Note also the projecting “rods” that represent the logs that supported the roofs of Lycian dwellings. Above the protruding "rods" note the depiction of a person reclining on a couch.

This necropolis (city of the dead) dates to the fourth century B.C.
