Un altare funerario con scena di filatura dal territorio friulano

In this paper I will examine a Roman funerary altar preserved in a church of a town near Tolmezzo (in the Friuli Venezia-Giulia region) that presents in the left side a very unusual motiv, the image of a spinning woman. The classicistic style of this figure recalls the style of a small group of altars in the Archaeological Museum of Aquileia, and shows the continuity of Greek imagery of the Classical period in the Roman funerary monuments of early Imperial age
