CAVI Lemma: RF plate. From Chiusi. Paseas (Cerberus Painter). Last quarter sixth. Ca.
520.
CAVI Subject: A mounted archer in Oriental costume. Beazley in CVA 3 says that the question
of whether the archer is male or female (Hartwig called the figure an Amazon)
cannot be decided, although the impression is that of a male. He may be a
barbarian or a Greek light-armed soldier; the costume is not Thracian (as
Seltman said), but one widely worn by Eastern barbarians, Scythian being
undistinguishable from Persian. `Miltiades' may be applied to the archer, but
there is no reason why it should be. The victor would fit chronologically [but
see my paper in TAPhA].
CAVI Inscriptions: Starting from the head: Μιλτιαδες καλος.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} but the archer is not bearded, as stated there.
CAVI Comments: = 1879.175. Pemberton discusses the Miltiades kalos; she thinks the kalos
refers to the victor and may not always be erotic.
