Allard Pierson Museum Hoplite

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This oil flask shows the head of a hoplite or infantryman. They are often represented in Greek art as expression of power and status. Their panoplia, with feather-decorated helmet, complete body armour, lances and shield, was designed to impress the opponent. This one wears an Attic helmet, a type with less protection but providing better view than the Corinthian type it gradually replaced. Earthenware, made and found on Rhodes (Greece), 6th century BC (inv. 1845)
Nederlands: Dit olieflesje toont het hoofd van een hopliet of infanteriesoldaat. Voorstellingen van hoplieten stellen vaak als uitdrukkingen van kracht en status. Hun panoplia (“geheel aan wapens”) liegt er dan ook niet om. De indrukwekkende helmen met wuivende helmbossen, volledige bepantsering, lansen en schilden moeten de tegenstander imponeren. Deze hopliet draagt een Attische helm, een type dat minder bescherming maar meer zicht geeft en het Korintische type gaandeweg vervangt. Aardewerk, gemaakt en gevonden op Rhodos (Griekenland), 6e eeuw v. Chr. (inv. 1845)
