Thanatos is depicted in a classical posture, embodying the calmness and solemnity of the moment of death, defining elements of the ancient concept of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discovery of this statue at Palazu Mare, an important archaeological site near Constan\u021ba (rural settlement), offers a valuable insight into the spiritual life and religious syncretism of ancient Dobrogea. The statuette was found in a domestic context, i.e. inside a kiln near a Roman house. Unfortunately, the statuette is incomplete, missing the left arm, parts of the legs and the wings from the back of the deity. The closest analogy for our representation comes from Northern France, where a small bronze statue was discovered in a villa rustica in Salou\u00ebl, a commune on the outskirts of Amiens. Based on previous observations, it can be said that the depiction of Thanatos is usually a feature of funerary art and is therefore rarely found in domestic contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We invite you to discover this remarkable object and its fascinating story in the virtual exhibition during May 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bibliografie:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Covacef, Z., Thanatos \u2013 simbol al nemuririi \u00een arta funerar\u0103 din Scythia Minor, Peuce 6, 1977, pp. 191\u2013197.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Petcu-Levei I., Petcu R., An ivory statuette depicting the god Thanatos discovered near Tomis (Moesia Inferior), Dissertationes Archaeologicae 3.12, 2024, pp. 333\u2013342.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curatori:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ingrid Petcu-Levei, Arheolog<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Radu Petcu, Cercet\u0103tor \u0219tiin\u021bific<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Muzeul de Istorie Na\u021bional\u0103 \u0219i Arheologie Constan\u021ba v\u0103 prezint\u0103 \u00een luna mai o pies\u0103 deosebit\u0103: o statuet\u0103 din filde\u0219, descoperit\u0103 la Palazu Mare \u0219i care \u00eel \u00eenf\u0103\u021bi\u0219eaz\u0103 pe Thanatos, zeul mor\u021bii lini\u0219tite din mitologia greac\u0103 \u0219i roman\u0103.
