A few weeks ago we mentioned a find of a Roman relief on Santorini (Roman-era Relief from Santorini) and mentioned how it seemed a little ‘too clean’ … Lampros Kallenos recently posted to the Classics list a link to this video, which shows (it appears) the slab shortly after removal:
So it emerged pretty clean, and the workers (? … are there any archaeologists there? I don’t understand modern Greek so I don’t know what the chatter is all about) cleaned what little was left. I don’t know … I’m still a bit cynical about this one, but probably unnecessarily so …
