Roman tomb with frescoes from Burj Al Shimali, Southern Lebanon

Summary[edit]

Description
English: "This richly decorated tomb with frescoes was accidentally dis-

covered in 1937 in Burj el-Shemali, about 3 km from Tyre, in an ancient necropolis area. It is a remarkable example of funerary art from the Roman Period. In 1939, the French archaeologist Maurice Dunand undertook excavations inside the tomb. At the end of the same year, the architect Henry Pearson dismantled the frescoes from the original walls with their mortar and restored them in the basement of the National Museum of Beirut.

The tomb was used during the 2nd century A.D."
