DescriptionFunerary relief found in Neumagen near Trier, a teacher with three discipuli, around 180-185 AD, Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier, Germany (29656302165).jpg
This sandstone relief constituted the right side of a large pillar-style funerary monument; the dedicator was displaying both his wealth and his culture, enabling him to employ a Greek tutor for his three sons. The central panel depicts two older boys seated on either side of their teacher as a younger boy walks into the room. The boy on the left holds a wooden lectern or portable desk on which is an open scroll. The teacher appears to be lecturing the second boy, who also holds an open scroll; the teacher's hairstyle and beard suggest that he is a Greek, and his chair has an attached footstool. The younger boy enter from the right, holding wax tablets bound together by a leather strap; he holds up his hand in greeting but doesn't look especially eager to begin his lessons.
