Funerary relief of a couple, woman wearing a sash(?); Roman time Crete [d/b]

“Portrait of a couple on a marble relief slab, from a large burial monument of Aptera. The forms of the young couple, especially the man, although they give the impression of personalization, are depicted in the same standard way of the period, providing us with data on the degree of integration of Crete in the new globalized society created by the Roman Empire.”
