King Herod's Palace, also known as Herodium, is a remarkable archaeological site located in the Judean Desert, near present-day Bethlehem in Israel.
Built by King Herod the Great around 23-15 BCE, it served as a fortress, palace, and final resting place for the king.
The site includes impressive remains of the palace complex, featuring a large palace with luxurious living quarters, bathhouses, and a unique circular structure believed to be Herod's tomb.
Herodium is a testament to Herod's grand architectural vision and remains a significant historical and archaeological landmark in the region.

The tomb was discovered by the two Inghiram brothers, who visited the necropolis of Ulimeto on the outskirts of Volterra, Italy, in 1861. It represents a characteristic Volterra tomb dating back to the 4th-1st century BC.
The tomb consists of a circular chamber carved out of the rock bed, without any decoration, and has a central pillar to support its ceiling.
At the time of its discovery, the tomb chamber was filled with approximately sixty coffins that belonged to five to six generations, placed in two rows on the bench and in front of the central pillar, and fifty-three urns.
Traditionally, the primary function of the urns was to hold a person's ashes after cremation. Relief decorations and the reclining lid figures representing the deceased create an illusion of a banquet hall.
The Etruscan urns lack Latin inscriptions typically found on the ones dated to Roman times. Today, the jars that belonged to an Etruscan Volterranian family Ati (Atia), are stored in National Archaeological Museum of Florence.

Warriors Lament, Empire Fall: Legacy of Alexander the Great reflects the bittersweet end of one of history's most remarkable empires. After Alexander’s death in 323 B.C., the vast empire he created, stretching from Greece to India, quickly fractured. His sudden demise at the young age of 32 left no clear successor, and his generals, known as the Diadochi, fought bitterly for control of his territories. The once-unified empire splintered into warring kingdoms, marking the end of an era of unparalleled military conquests. Yet, Alexander’s legacy endured far beyond the battlefield. His campaigns spread Greek culture, language, and ideas throughout the known world, blending them with local traditions in what became known as the Hellenistic era. Despite the empire's collapse, Alexander’s vision and influence on art, science, philosophy, and political thought continued to shape civilizations for centuries to come, ensuring his place as one of history's greatest and most influential figures.

In the Archaeological Museum of Olympia in you will find the 2,500 year-old helmet of Miltiades, the Athenian general who led the to victory against the Persians at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. The helmet is battered and missing its crown but on the side of the helmet is the name Miltiades with dedication to the god, Zeus. The helmet is made of bronze and would originally have been topped with a large crest (lower picture).
The helmet was discovered in the ruins of the Temple of Zeus in Olympia. On the side are the words “ΜΙΛΤΙΑΔΕΣ ΑΝΕ[Θ]ΕΚΕΝ [Τ]ΟΙ ΔΙ,” which means “Militiades offered his helmet to Zeus.” It is possible this helmet was worn by Miltiades at the Battle of Marathon and then offered to Zeus thanking the god for the victory, but it could be from some other battle and that is why it was found in the ruins of the temple. Either way, around 2,500 years ago Miltiades offered this helmet to Zeus which makes it an amazing artefact from history.
