A Monumental Hellenistic Funerary Ensemble at Callatis on the
Western Black Sea presents one of the most spectacular early
Hellenistic funerary monuments, recently excavated on the western
Black Sea coast by a Romanian-Bulgarian-Polish interdisciplinary
research team. Documaci Tumulus, covering a painted tomb, and
marked by a monumental statue, was built at the threshold of the
4th to 3rd centuries BC in the cemetery of the Greek City of
Callatis. The sophisticated construction techniques and the remains
of commemorative rituals attest to the dynamic political arena of
the Diadochi wars in the Black Sea area and offer a glimpse into a
complex and interconnected world of Hellenistic architects and
artists. The monument will fuel discussions about the mechanisms of
ritualised identity expression in mixed cultural environments,
functioning under the pressure of political change, or about
community membership, symbolic discourse and ancestors- all
reflected in 'le jeu des miroirs' of the funerary practices.
