Sophia Schliemann
Portrait of Sophia Schliemann, second wife of Heinrich Schliemann, shown posing for a photo while draped in the gold jewellery from the 'Treasure of Priam'. Heinrich Schliemann was a businessman and discoverer of Ancient Troy, Mycenae and Tiryns. Schliemann is sometimes considered to be the modern discoverer of prehistoric Greece, though scholarship in the late 20th and early 21st centuries revealed that much self-mythologizing was involved in establishing his reputation. From the Museum for prehistory and early history, Berlin.
