Soldier Relief 1

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 attendant.

Note also the projecting “rods” that represent the logs that supported the roofs of Lycian dwellings. Above these, note the depiction of a person reclining on a couch and those standing at the foot of it.

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