The ashes of every Athenian who fell in battle were returned to the city and buried in the state funerary ground in the outer Kerameikos, an area at the northwest edge of the city, just outside the walls. The grieving family might also erect a stele\u2013usually with a battle scene\u2013in its own burial precinct to honor the fallen soldier. Here, captured in a desperate moment, both the standing soldier and his fallen opponent are about to be slain.
