Lower Danube: Silistra Tomb painting of a male servant (4c AD)
Male servant from the tomb at Silistra (photo: K. Tanchev; Silistra Historical Museum, archives). | ||
Three
of the Silistra Tomb's polychrome walls (with the exception of the
eastern one) contain pictorial details of the figures of a noble Roman
family and their attendants. In the north and south panels, male and
female servants are seen approaching with refreshments. The servants'
clothing, hairstyles and other details offer historic insight into
the 4th century AD Late Roman world of the lower Danube region. |
