Sarcophagus relief, Miletus, Aydin, Turkey
Relief of a bird carrying a snake from a sarcophagus in the Miletus Museum, Miletus, Aydin, Turkey. Miletus was an Ancient Greek city on the Western coast of Anatolia. Although settlement began here millennia ago, its heyday was in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The city was finally abandoned in the Ottoman era when the harbours silted up.
