The bronze cover of a phalanx-man's shield, found in Upper Macedonia and published by P. Adam-Veleni, was inscribed ‘of king—’, the name being illegible. From the inscription and the decoration one can estimate that the Macedonian ‘foot’ was in the upper category of length. It is suggested that the king—probably Antigonus Gonatas—had these shields manufactured, and that he issued them to his infantry guard.
A complete mouldmade ‘Megarian’ bowl, now in the Museum of Classical Archaeology at Cambridge, is here published and attributed to a Syrian or Levantine manufacturer. The Dionysiac iconography, beading, fabric, and paint suggest an Antiochene provenance, and an early or mid-second-century BC date is proposed.
