| Summary: | This paper examines two carved and inscribed steles from northern Syria. The usual funerary motif of the eagle on a workbasket, under a naiskos and hanging garlands, is dealt with in an exceptional way, that seems to be reminiscent of the Augustean and Julio-Claudian art. In the Greek epitaphs, the form of the letters suggests a dating about the end of the 1st cent. AD. The men's names, being Greek and characteristic of northern Greece, date back to the Macedonian colonization; those of the women are Semitic; Both the onomastic and the artistic feature of these twin steles emphasize what was society and culture^ in northern Syria during the Roman imperial period. |
