Relief of Greek-Persian War made for propaganda found in Turkey

[FfFfFfFF 58,135]

Archeologists in northwestern Turkey discovered a relief on Monday depicting a war between the Greeks and Persians from the fifth century B.C.

The figures on the relief show fighting Greek soldiers beneath the hoofs of Persian warhorses, said archeologist Kaan Iren, who leads the dig site of the ancient city of Dascylium found in the modern-day Bandirma district of Balikesir province.

"We think these reliefs were probably made for propaganda purposes during the wars."

The discovery of the relief during the excavations of the wall became one of the season's most significant discoveries.
