Roman relief from a marble tomb, 201-300 CE |
||
Description |
Roman tombs and graves were often carved with symbols, giving an indication of the person’s life or profession whilst on earth. Asklepios, the Greco-Roman god of medicine and healing is carved accompanied by a snake. This would suggest that the occupant of the tomb was a physician. Asklepios was often pictured with a snake who was his messenger. Snakes were also believed to have healing powers. maker: Unknown maker Place made: Roman Republic and Empire Wellcome Images |
