Kioniskos of Philokleia
The Kioniskos of Philokleia is a funerary monument in the ancient Athenian cemetery Kerameikos .
The Kioniskos of Philokleia was found during the excavations of the German Archaeological Institute in Athens , led by Klaus Vierneisel , in 1961/62 in the area of the north side of the Holy Street of the Kerameikos necropolis in Athens. The tomb was found a little to the west of a tomb made of poros blocks and is slightly offset to the north compared to this. The Kioniskos was erected after Demetrios of Phaleron (317 to 307 BC) passed the tomb luxury law . A bronze mirror, a weaving weight and two unguentaries were found in the grave that was probably associated with it .
The burial precinct of Plathane and Polykrates and the tomb painting of Hermon were found nearby ; In addition, a grave building made of adobe bricks and the above-mentioned grave building made of Poros blocks, where rich additions with ceramics by the Meidias painter and the Frauenbad painter were found in a sacrificial trough .
