Istanbul Archaeological Museum Stele of soldier with other man, Hellenistic from Sidon 2288 merged
I have no more information The catalogue has: "Painted stelae of Sidon are among the most interesting remains of the popular arts executed in Syria during the Hellenistic period. Their popularity must have been a result of the fondness of the Sidonians for painted decorations as well as a scarcity of good quality marble for producing sculpture. Similar stelae were also excavated in Cyprus and Egypt. Those at the Archaeological Museum of Istanbul belonged to Greek mercenaries who served in the armies of the Seleucid kings, and they give us valuable information about the arms and apparel of soldiers recruited by the Seleucids in the second century BC."
