Ceiling Tile with Heliodoros in the Yale University Art Gallery, October 2013
Ceiling Tile with Heliodoros, an Actuarius
ca. A.D. 200–256
Clay with painted plaster
30.5 × 44 × 6.7 cm (12 × 17 5/16 × 2 5/8 in.)
Yale-French Excavations at Dura-Europos
1933.292
This tile from the ceiling of a house bears a Greek inscription that identifies the bearded man by name, Heliodoros, and occupation, actuarius (an official responsible for distribution of wages in the Roman military). The use of Greek to identify a Roman official is typical of the multicultural environment at Dura-Europos. The style and technique of the figure—the frontal pose, large eyes, subtle shading, and earth-toned pigments—recall other painted decoration in the city’s buildings.
Culture: Syrian, Dura-Europos
Period: Roman (3rd century A.D.)
Classification: Paintings
Provenance: Excavated by the Yale-French Excavations at Dura-Europos (block L7 A31, House of the Scribes), present-day Syria, 1928–37; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn.
