Comerus Gallus Romus I've seen this reproductions in a greek publication about Thermopylae, there was also a picture of a black glad thespian hoplite caring a dipylos shield. If you have the picture could you post it?
Thank you in advance
Stefanos if you have the book the athenian marine is in page 53 where the author explain that his machaira was based on potery vases showing Athenians fighting Persians, using among other wapons a machaira like this. The Book is "Στρατιωτική Ιστορια νο 16: Η μαχη των Θερμοπυλών" Periskopio publishing

Honor to those who in the life they lead
define and guard a Thermopylae.
Never betraying what is right,
consistent and just in all they do
but showing pity also, and compassion
