Description

Six men stand in a tight group against a weathered, rock-cut stone wall. A man in a cap on the left and a man in a dark hat in the centre face each other, with the others close around them. Cut stone blocks and a low stone platform lie in the foreground, and a man in a checked jacket stands at the right edge of the frame.

English

Several men stand close together in front of a rough stone wall at the site of ancient Salamis. The man in the centre wearing a dark hat appears to be explaining something to the others, while a man in a checked jacket stands in the foreground.
