ANCIENT GREEK BRONZE MUSEUM STATUE REPLICA OF LEONIDAS KING OF SPARTA (1010)
Ancient Greek Bronze Museum Statue Replica Of King Of Sparta Code: 1010 Dimensions: 13x6 cm 5.13x2.17 in Weight: 700gr Material: BRONZE Color: MUSEUM OXIDIGATITION This is a handmade Museum Statue Replica Of King Of Sparta made in Greece. From 100% bronze using the traditional“lost wax” technique. This is the same technique used by the ancient Greeks to create bronze sculptures and arsenal. The prototype which it was made by is a museum exhibit. The museum color is given through the process of oxidization Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE According to Herodotus. Leonidas' mother was his father's niece and had been barren for so long that the ephors, the five annually elected administrators of the Spartan constitution, ... moretried to prevail upon King Anaxandridas to set aside his wife and take another. Anaxandridas refused, claiming his wife was blameless, whereupon the ephors agreed to allow him to take a second wife without setting aside his first. This second wife, a descendent of Chilon the Wise, promptly bore a son, Cleomenes. However, one year after Cleomenes' birth, Anaxandridas' first wife also gave birth to a son, Dorieus. Leonidas was the second son of Anaxandridas' first wife, and either the elder brother or twin of Cleombrotus. Because Leonidas was not heir to the throne, he was not exempt from attending the agoge, the public school that the sons of all Spartans had to complete in order to qualify for citizenship. Leonidas was thus one of the few Spartan kings to have ever undergone the notoriously harsh training of Spartan youth. Anaxandridas died in 520 BC. And Cleomenes succeeded to the throne sometime between then and 516 BC.Dorieus was so outraged that the Spartans had preferred his half-brother over himself that he found it impossible to remain in Sparta. He made one unsuccessful attempt to set up a colony in Africa and, when this failed, sought his fortune in Sic
