Married couple funerary reliefs : ウィキペディア英語版 | Married couple funerary reliefs Funerary reliefs of married couples were common in ancient Rome. They are one of the most common funerary portraits found on surviving freedmen reliefs. By the the fourth century, a portrait of a couple on a sarcophagus from the empire did not necessarily signify the burial of two spouses but instead demonstrated the importance of the material bond. == Via Statilia relief ==
An example of a Late Roman Republic double portrait of a man and a woman, a husband and wife, that once decorated a tomb of the Via Statilia in Rome. The wife and husband were probably former slaves because Slavery in ancient Rome was common. It has been estimated that Italy alone had about two million slaves. Some slaves gained freedom in return for their service, while other died as slaves in service of their original or new owner. As slaves, couples had no legal standing, after they had been freed former slaves became people in the eye of the law. Therefore freedmen and freedwomen would portray themselves as married couple on their tombs. 〔Kleiner, S, Fred. A History of Roman Art: Clark Baxter, 2007. Print.〕
