1. Title: Funerary Stele of the Landlady Sentia Amaranis Description: This funerary stele, dating from the 1st century AD, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Roman Empire. Discovered in Mérida, Spain, the capital city of the ancient Roman province of Lusitania, this masterpiece is now proudly displayed at the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida (Museo Nacional de Arte Romano). The stele, carved in marble, showcases a vibrant relief depicting the scene of a mourning woman, believed to be the landlady Sentia Amaranis. She is shown seated on a square base, her body turned towards the viewer, her face expressing sorrow and contemplation. The relief is richly colored, with the woman's robe and the folds of her cloak rendered in intricate detail. Behind the landlady, a group of persons, possibly her family or tenants, gather to pay their respects. The scene is a poignant reminder of the close-knit communities that thrived in the Roman world, where the bonds of family and social connections were deeply valued. The funerary stele is a remarkable example of Roman art from the Early Empire period. Its intricate carving and vivid colors demonstrate the skill and artistry of the Roman craftsmen who created it. The stele's discovery in Mérida, a city that was once a bustling Roman metropolis, underscores the rich cultural heritage of Spain and the enduring influence of the Roman Empire. The National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida is home to an extensive collection of Roman art and artifacts, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Roman world. This funerary stele of the landlady Sentia Amaranis is just one of the many treasures that await visitors to this remarkable museum.
