1. Title: Gallo-Roman Funerary Stele with Commercial Scene: A Glimpse into Ancient Life This Gallo-Roman funerary stele, dated back to the 1st or 2nd century AD, showcases an intriguing commercial scene in relief on a rock. Discovered in Metz, Lorraine, France, this masterpiece is now part of the Musée de la Cour d'Or collection. The horizontal stele, richly colored and adorned with figures, depicts a bustling marketplace scene. Men of various ages engage in trade, exchanging goods and haggling over prices. The central figure, a man wearing a toga, stands behind a table laden with jewelry and other valuable items, indicating his role as a merchant or shopkeeper. This stele provides a unique insight into the daily life of the ancient Romans in the Lorraine region. The figures are depicted with a sense of realism and vitality, showcasing the skill and artistry of the Gallo-Roman sculptors. The round, full faces, and detailed clothing suggest a deep understanding of human anatomy and the natural world. The commercial scene on this stele underscores the importance of trade and commerce in ancient society. The presence of such a scene on a funerary stele suggests that the deceased individual may have been involved in commerce or held a position of importance in the community. This Gallo-Roman funerary stele is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Roman civilization in France. Its intricate details and vibrant colors continue to captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the daily life of the ancient world.
