Scutum (Shield) mid-3rd century A.D. Painted wood and rawhide 105.5 × 41 × 30 cm (41 9/16 × 16 1/8 × 11 13/16 in.) Yale-French Excavations at Dura-Europos 1933.715 This is the only known surviving example of the semicylindrical shield known as a scutum, used by Roman legionaries and known from literary sources. Found flattened, in thirteen pieces, and missing its umbo (central boss), the shield was reconstructed by the Yale-French excavation team. The painted decoration reflects Roman iconography of victory, including an eagle with a laurel wreath, winged Victories, and a lion.

Mosaic Fragment with a Bust of Euterpe late 2nd–early 3rd century A.D. Mosaic: limestone and glass tesserae 62.9 × 58.4 cm (24 3/4 × 23 in.) Ruth Elizabeth White Fund 2004.2.5 This fragment (as well as 2004.2.1–.4) was once part of a much larger mosaic on the floor of a triclinium (dining room) of a Roman house in Gerasa. In the procession, revelers accompany centaurs drawing Dionysos and his consort Ariadne on a cart. Below, Erato, muse of erotic poetry and mime, plays a lyre, while Euterpe, muse of lyric poetry, holds two auloi (reed instruments much like oboes). More than twenty other fragments of this floor exist today, the majority of which are in Berlin. The Yale University Art Gallery’s fragments were discovered in 1927, following earlier excavations in 1907.
