The Julius Terentius Fresco, one of the most important works found in Dura Europos, shows the military tribune Julius Terentius performing a rite dedicated to the three gods represented in the upper left-hand part of the work. Previous studies have focused on identifying the deities by comparing them with other iconographies found in Dura Europos and the surrounding areas. However, the depiction of Terentius, together with his army, performing the rite has not been investigated. This paper examines the meaning and iconographical characteristics of this fresco, focusing especially on the sacrificial scene.
