Dura Europos - Affresco nel tempio delle divinità palmirene: il tribuno Julius Terentius sacrifica a Bel, Ablibol e Jahribol

Doura Europos, Temple of Bel, wall painting on plaster depicting the Roman tribune Julius Terentius performing a sacrifice. It is located on the lower register of the northern wall of the pronaos of the so-called Temple of the Palmyrene Gods (Temple of Bel). The performer is named by a painted inscription in Latin. Terentius is pouring incense into a thymiaterion (?), the soldiers of his unit flanking his right side, and behind him, a priest is represented. The statues of the deities are on the left side of Terentius, to whom the sacrifice is offered, and beneath them, the personified Fortunes of Dura and Palmyra are depicted.
