Grave Relief for Eutaxia and Artemisios

The Grave relief for Eutaxia and Artemisios is a Hellenistic grave relief in the antique collection of the Museum August Kestner in Hannover. The relief is one of two Greek marble grave reliefs of the Museum August Kestner (Inventory number I 45). It is dated from the second half of the second century BC and is some two hundred years younger than the other piece made in Attica. The grave relief comes from the area around Smyrna (modern Izmir) and was acquired through the mediation of Carl Humann. It originated in Hellenistic times in Ionia, where, unlike in Attica, such funerary luxury was not prohibited.
