Commemorating the Dead
Grave Markers, Tombs, and Tomb Paintings, 400–30 bce
This chapter offers a survey of the principal types of grave markers and tombs in the late Classical and Hellenistic periods. Some, such as grave reliefs, columns, and statues, are carried over from the Archaic and Classical periods, though there was a ban on luxurious grave markers in Athens and Attica from circa 480 to circa 430, and after 317 BCE. Marble grave reliefs are the most common type of grave markers in the late Classical and Hellenistic periods. They were normally set up in funerary precincts that lined the roads outside the city gates. Other types of gravemarkers include painted funerary stelai, stone vases, pilasters and trapezai. Burial precincts were common in Athens and Attica in the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. Several Macedonian tombs are decorated with figural wall‐paintings on the façade or within the chambers. The façade and burial chamber of Vergina Tomb III exceptionally carried painted friezes on wooden panels.
