Statue, Musee Archeologique Henri Prades, Lattara, Montpellier, France

Warrior statue, possibly an archer or spear bearer, wearing a disc or cardiophylax serving as armour, from a 3rd century BC house, in the Musee Archeologique Henri Prades, an archaeology museum at Lattara, an ancient Etruscan settlement founded 6th century BC, rediscovered in 1963, at Lattes, near Montpellier, Languedoc-Roussillon, France. The site was first settled in neolithic times but thrived in Etruscan times as a port settlement, beside lagoons on the Lez delta, and grew again in Roman times from 2nd century BC. The site is a protected archaeological reserve, with an archaeological museum, research centre and excavation depot, and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
