Item Details

Description

Roman, Flavian last quarter of 1st cent. A.D..Marble. H. 29 cmThe cinerarium is composed of a roof-shaped lid with a profiled frame and a rectangular container framed above and below. Palmette-shaped acroteria in the corners of the lid and a female head in a shell-shaped medallion in the centre of the pediment. A panel on the front of the container with an engraved inscription: D(is) M(anibus) L(ucio) Sarioleno Achillaeo C(aius) Octavius Mnestus Amico B(ene) M(erenti) Fecit. Vix(it) An(nis) XXV. The inscription informs us that C. Octavius Mnestus commissioned the cinerarium for his friend L. Sariolenus Achillaeus who died aged 25. Mnestus and Achillaeus are Greek names, so they are probably freedmen. The inscription is flanked by eagles - symbols of power and dignity - that hold in their beaks a garland signifying prosperity and plenitude. A bird pecks at grapes that have spilled out of a basket below the inscription. On the sides of the container, the eagles are completed in low relief. Coarse grooves on the back face of the container. Lid and container probably not belonging. Tips of acroteria slightly worn.Formerly Coll. Jean-Philippe Mariaud de Serres (1944-2007), Paris, acquired before 2000.
