Description

View of ivory frieze from Terrace House 2 at Ephesus, Turkey. "The frieze can be dated around CE 120. It shows bearded Orientals who are identified as Parthians … by their distinctive V-neck tunics. The Parthians are either defeated in battle or brought captive before a Roman general, probably Trajan. If this is correct, the frieze could relate to the Parthian war under Trajan,"--from The Age of the Parthians, edited by Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis, Sarah Stewart.
