Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Center medallion of a silver plate dating from the Roman occupation of the fort in Kaiseraugst (ca. 330-340 CE), Augusta Raurica, Switzerland.

The medallion depicts a distraught Princess Deidameia catching Achilles by the arm as he unmasks himself in front of Odysseus and other Greek warriors who have come to the Island of Skyros after learning that Thetis ordered Achilles to masquerade as a girl among the royal court of King Lycomedes in order to avoid participating in the Trojan War.

The original image was photographed and uploaded by Adrian Michael user:Parpan05.

This version of the image has been cropped to focus only on the center medallion, resized to be more circular, white-balanced, lightly sharpened, and the background changed to solid white.
Date between circa 330 and circa 340 CE
