Family Gravestone

The inscription clearly states: "Asinnius Ingenus, his wife Areskusa, and son Theodorus". This relief is notable for capturing characters engaged in a symposium, an ancient Greek tradition where aristocratic men would gather to drink, converse, and revel together. The symposium's lively nature might explain its frequent appearance on Hellenistic gravestones, as Hellenistic funeral art tends to emphasize the deceased person's life rather than their passing.
