Perinthus, Thrace, Early - Mid 2nd Century A.D.
|Perinthus|, |Perinthus,| |Thrace,| |Early| |-| |Mid| |2nd| |Century| |A.D.|, Artemis' most distinctive attributes were her bow, arrows, and quiver. She was also sometimes equipped with hunting spears, a lyre, a water-jug, and frequently a torch or a pair of torches. Artemis was sometimes called the torch-bearing goddess; this alluding to her role as a moon goddess, wandering and shining at night. At Amphipolis she was honored with torch-races called Lampadephoria.
