Abstract

The paper analyses a relief of unknown provenience that appeared on London’s antiquity market in 1991. It represents an armoured horseman next to a pillar-shaped monument. The stele, which has never been systematically studied, has been attributed to Attica, but its morphology lead us to believe that it is more likely a product from Thessaly, made during the first quarter of the 4th century B.C. The relief was probably dedicated in a sanctuary devoted to a Heros equitans and reflects the excellence of the Thessalian cavalry, well-known throughout the Greek world.
