In January 1925, near the modern village of Ruets (Northeastern
Bulgaria), treasure hunters excavated the Mal-yuk mound and
discovered a momumental tomb. It is the earliest dated tomb from the
second half of the 5th century BC and it testifies to the formation
of a local dynastic centre in this part of Northeast Thrace. A total
of 30 artifacts were found in it — they could be functionally
distinguished as follows: I. Armor: 1. Chalcidian type bronze helmet.
2. Bronze cuirass with a mitra. II. Offensive weapons: 3. Iron sword
akinakes. 4-5. Two iron spearheads. 6-16. Eleven bronze arrowheads.
III. Horse harness: 17. Iron bridle. 18. Silver buckle. 19. Bronze
buckle. IV. Banquet vessels: 20. Bronze amphora. 21. Bronze stainer.
22. Bronze situla. 23. Bronze lekane. 24-26. Three bronze objects
belonging to a bronze crater. V. Ceramic vessels: 27. Red-figure
hydria. VI. Oilment objects: 28. Glass aryballos. VII. Bone objects:
29. Cyllindrical objects with incised decoration. 30. Objects with
elliptical cross-section and incised decoration.

Mount Mainalos in Arcadia was
renowned in antiquity. It was considered sacred to the Arcadian god Pan,
and famed as the place where Arkas, the eponymous ancestor of all
Arcadians, was buried. Not until 2011 though was Mount Mainalos securely
identified with today’s mountain of Agios Elias, at the foot of which
the modern villages of Arachamitai, Asea, Athenaion and Kerastari
nestle. This important recognition allows us finally, and for the first
time ever, to compile the forgotten history of the Arcadian tribe
Mainalia, once centred on Mount Mainalos. Towns, settlements and
sanctuaries can now be described and located, and the ancient Mainalians
take on flesh again. They appear not only as farmers, herdsmen and
merchants, but also as outstanding sportsmen, soldiers, craftsmen and
artists: they developed an artistic tradition of their own and
maintained contacts with all the ancient world.
