Description: Relief inscribed stele with the Samain honorary decree. The relief depicts Hera and Athena, patron-deities of Samos and Athens respectively, clasping hands. According to the inscription, the demos of the Athenians honors the Samians, because they remained loyal to them, after the defeat of the Athenian fleet at Aigos Potamoi by the Spartians, although their other allies had revolted. The text is a copy of the original decree issued in 405 BC, inscribed in 403/2 BC.
