Abstract


The authors propose a morphological and iconographic reconstruction of a Roman funeral couch decorated in bone working upon numerous cladding pieces coming from a grave in bustum in the necropolis of La Cona – Teramo (Abruzzo). The bed, classified within the «turned legs» typology, was probably adorned with a Bacchic iconographic theme and can be dated on the first half of the 1st century A.D., the time that records the widest diffusion of this kind furniture.
