Abstract

The publication Bone and ivory Carvings by E. Rodziewicz, based on data of recent excavations stratigraphic evidence of alexandrine workshops active in late antiquity, provides us with the large systematic corpus of these artifacts allowing many further studies of parallel material. The iconographic themes presented there are identical to the objects from the Collection of the Greco-Roman Museum of Alexandria, that mainly concern the sea: the dionysian thiasos, the sea thiasos and Aphrodite, most probably preferred for their implications with funerary world.
