Summary
The Funerary Banquet in the Grave Stele of one Iulia Iucunda
from Črnomelj
The article discusses the grave stele of one Iulia Iucunda, found in Črnomelj
in the province of Pannonia (National Museum of Slovenia, inv. no. L 119).
The busts of the couple are carved within the main field, whereas the relief
frieze bearing the scene of the funerary banquet (cena funebris, German
Totenmahl) follows below. It is represented in differentia specifica for that
province, as the reclining deceased is absent.
The unexpected figure for the funerary banquet is the naked figure
at the far left, stepping towards mensa tripes. Considering its posture, it
resembles the satyrs (type Askophoros A) or the personifications of the
Seasons as the youth. In their left, the figure carries a pedum, with a bas-
ket or a bundle (?) hanging down from its bent end. In their other hand, a
hardly distinguishable curved object is visible: a sickle or a pruning knife
(?). However, the pedum is the standard attribute for both mythological en-
tities, while the sickle is common for the personification of Summer, and
the pruning knife for both, satyrs, and Autumn. As both mythological be-
ings share the posture as well as several attributes and the carved figure is
mal preserved, it is almost impossible to claim which one of them is shown.
However, none of them is represented in the funerary sculpture neither in
Neviodunum nor in Siscia, although both are quite popular in the adjacent
province of Noricum, in which the comparable figures are dated after the
first quarter of the 3rd century.
One of the open issues is the dating of the stele, as in the hitherto lit-
erature it spans from the late 1st till the beginning of the 3rd century. As the
coiffure of the spouse resembles the Severan hair dresses, perhaps mostly
the one of Iulia Maesa, and her husband wears a sagum, which was worn by
both, military and civilians, especially after the rule of emperor Caracalla,
the dating to the first third of the 3rd century seems more plausible.
