An Attic marble votive relief dating to the second half of the 4th century BC, along with five bronze anthropomorphic figurines that were in the possession of the company Robin Symes Limited, currently under liquidation, were repatriated from London today (22/1), following the successful outcome of a long-standing claim, according to an announcement by the Ministry of Culture.

The repatriation ceremony took place on October 10, 2025, at the Conference Center of Ancient Olympia (SPAP). The artifact, a fragment of an Ionic capital made of limestone, originates from the Leonidaion of Ancient Olympia and had been illegally removed in the 1960s. The fragment, which retains traces of its original coating, measures 24 cm in height and 33.5 cm in width. It shares stylistic features with other Ionic capitals from the site.

A small marble fragment believed to be from a 6th-century B.C. temple on the Acropolis has been voluntarily returned to Greece by a family in Chile that had held it for nearly a century, the culture ministry announced.
