The study deals with the votive offerings after victories and various forms of votive gifts as the tithes promised to deities. This could include building of a temple, statues of the military leaders or gods considered as the architects of their success as well as weapons and items, often made of precious metals, most frequently devoted to Apollo in Delphi. Of particular significance were the tropaia, the victorious monuments built on the site of a battle as well as reports on the burials of the fallen. The conclusion touches symbolically on the subject of fate of some of the memorials to the aforementioned Greek victories.
