designed exhibit family groups of people living in
the age others Just the beginning of metal work

In the neighborhood Of Thessay there still living

manned il Greece after the battle Of Pharsaa These
people of the pure ancient Roman type and in spite
of Of Turkish oppression they have mixed

To match these there is another type which the
only living representatives of the pure Greek of classic
days only found among the Sphakotes in the

These Greeks have the head profile of the Hermes of
