Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο ΠΕ Καστοριάς στο Άργος Ορεστικό

The Archaeological Museum of Kastoria is located next to the Health Center of Argos Orestiko, housed in a hall of the Cultural Center of the homonymous Municipality and hosts findings from the central part of ancient Orestid organized in four thematic sections.   The first section (1100-550 BC) presents an impressive collection of bronze jewelery, ritual objects, horns, clay pots and representations of men's, women's and infant tombs.

The second section (the Kingdom of Orestius: 550-359 BC) includes a bronze statue of a symposia, burial inscriptions, a marble Sphinx, a part of a tombstone and graveyards of classical period graves.

From 359 to 200 BC Orestes was part of the Kingdom of Macedonia and its citizens participated as soldiers in the Macedonian phalanx. The objects of the third section include the tip of a Macedonian Sarissa, a unique phalanx shield of the pedestrian infantry and votive inscriptions.

The fourth section includes antiquities from the period between the tradition of Orestius to the Romans (200 BC) and the founding of Diocletian in about 300 AD. The region retained its administrative independence, as evidenced by the survival of the "Communion of the Hosts" as a local political power, and the "Vathynaion Resolution", the most important political inscription from Western Macedonia. The Orestyas have also preserved their cultural and religious identity to a considerable extent, as evidenced by votive offerings to Gods and burial inscriptions referring to "heroes" and mortals.
