I.—Excavations At Sparta, 1908 § 7.—A Third-Century Marble Head

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 October 2013

Extract

The head illustrated in Figure 1 was found by Mr. Woodward in trenching along the face of the late Roman walls to the east of the big Southern Tower. It is of bluish local marble and ·26 m. high. The face is well preserved, but the top and back of the head are missing. This, as shewn to some extent by the photograph, is due to the fact that the back of the head is cut with four intersecting planes.
