Stele of Arniadas

The Stele of Arniadas is an Archaic-period funerary stele discovered in 1846 at the necropolis of the Corfu Palaiopolis in the suburb of Garitsa, near the Tomb of Menecrates [1]. The stele marked the grave of Arniadas, a warrior who died bravely in battle near the river Arachthos at ancient Ambracia (modern Arta) [1]. It dates to the early 6th century BC and was found after British forces demolished Venetian fortifications in the area [1].
