Severan Tondo

The Severan Tondo or Berlin Tondo from circa 200 AD, is one of the few preserved examples of panel painting from Classical Antiquity, depicting the first two generations of the imperial Severan dynasty, whose members ruled the Roman Empire in the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries. It depicts the Roman emperor Septimius Severus with his family: his wife, the augusta Julia Domna, and their two sons and co-augusti Caracalla and Geta . The face of one of the two brothers has been deliberately erased, very likely as part of damnatio memoriae.
On the viewer's right is Septimius Severus, and to the left Julia Domna. In front of them are the boys Caracalla and Geta, probably the figure with the erased face on the viewer's left and slightly to the rear of the other boy. All wear jewelled gold wreaths and imperial insignia, some details of which have been lost. Having emerged from the antiquities trade, the wooden tondo's provenance is unknown before entering the Antikensammlung Berlin in the 20th century. It is now in the Altes Museum.
