Philistine Soldiers on the
Rome or David Casket, Byzantine, 898 or 900AD




Photo by emilio
An ivory casket in the Palazzo Venezia, Rome.
The casket had been attributed to Armenia based on the strangeness of the lettering of part of the inscription. Later this was found to be due to repair of the casket, probably in the 17th century.
It had been suggested that the soldiers are saluting, but, there is nobody to salute.
