This was part of a marble architrave. The row of sculpted metopes on the north side of the temple to the goddess of the city of Ilion, Athena, began with an image of the sun god's Quadriga rising out of the sea. Like the Parthenon in Athens, the row perhaps continued with depictions of the battle for Troy and ended with the moon goddess, Selene. Marble. From the temple of Athena at Ilion, Troy; from Schliemann's excavations in 1872 CE. 300-280 BCE. It is on display at the Altes Museum in Berlin, Germany.
