EDITORS COMMENTS
The Funerary Stela of the Priest Dionysios and His Wife, Tertia, is a captivating marble sculpture that offers a glimpse into ancient Roman artistry and religious customs. Created in the 3rd century AD, this monumental piece measures 153x86.4x20.3 cm and is housed at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The stela depicts an intricately carved door with symbolic motifs from Phrygia, located in Asia Minor. The stone surface showcases remarkable craftsmanship as it portrays two figures - Dionysios and his wife Tertia - standing on either side of the door frame. Dionysios, a male figure with his hand raised in a gesture of farewell or blessing, represents the deceased priest who served within the Roman religious hierarchy during that era. Beside him stands Tertia, elegantly portrayed as she gazes towards her husband with an expression of love and devotion. This funerary stela not only commemorates their lives but also serves as a spiritual gateway to the afterlife for Dionysios and Tertia. It symbolizes their journey beyond mortality while honoring their roles within society. With its intricate details and poignant symbolism, this ancient artwork invites viewers to reflect upon life's transience and contemplate themes of love, spirituality, and remembrance. As it transcends time through its preservation at the museum today, this exquisite piece continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its timeless beauty.
