Gaziantep Zeugma museum Stele sept 2019 3978.jpg

This rectangular stele consists of a niche topped by an arch. Inside the deep niche a figure of a child has been carved in high relief. In one hand it holds a bird, in the other a cluster of pictachios. An inscription reads “Brutus Koskonius’ untimely farewell. It can be dated to the second century AD. Made of limestone it was found in Zeugma in 1931, for many years it stayed in the Adana museum, to be returned to the land it was found on 7-9-2016.
