Noticia y análisis de un fragmento marmóreo con simbología judía procedente de Mérida

This article makes known the existence of a new material evidence from the Jewish community of Merida during the Late Antiquity. The singularity of the menorah, accompanied by a shofar and a lulav and located in the middle of a marble fragment, not only endorses its genuine character, but also, in combination with other verifiable arguments, allows us to speculate on a plausible chro‐ nology of the piece (late fourth or fifth century c.e.). Starting from some of the intrinsic features presented by the decorative motifs, it is also possible to support the hypothesis that the preserved fragment was part of an unfortunately lost funerary inscription.
