Funerary Monument of Lusius Storax

Chieti, Italy · built 30

The Funerary Monument of Lusius Storax is a temple tomb of the early Roman Imperial period, preserved in the Archaeological Museum La Civitella in Chieti. The monument consists of two reliefs, a frieze and a pediment, which are dated between AD 30 and 50 on epigraphic and stylistic grounds (like the type of armour worn by the gladiators). The tomb's occupant, Gaius Lusius Storax, was a freedman who became a sevir Augustalis of Teate (modern Chieti) following the administrative reforms of Augustus.
