The Tripod of Palataea, Delphi, Greece. One of the most celebrated monuments of antiquity, the Tripod of Plataea celebrated the defeat of the Persians by 31 Greek city-states at Plataea in 479 BC. Three intertwined serpents made of gold supported a gold cauldron. Constantine the Great removed the monument to his Hippodrome, and fragments of it are still on display today in Istanbul.
