Tunic

A team of archaeologists led by Antonis Bartziokas from Democritus University of Thrace has reportedly identified the sacred "chiton" or tunic of Alexander the Great, sending shockwaves through the archaeological community.

The painting is a feast of colors and allegories - the body of the Homeric hero shines under the light as he places three flowers on his bird cage-for-a-head. The ancient philosopher, dressed in a green tunic, is carrying three fish in his hand. Between the two stands another faceless figurine: a woman dressed in Belle Epoque-style garb holding a clock.

Inside the Afghanistan Powerlifting Federation’s cramped gym, Rasheda Parhiz lies on a bench wearing a tunic over sweatpants and holding a 70-kilogram weighted bar above her scarf-covered head.
