Figure 105

© 2017, David E. Graves, ECM
The bēma of the third cent. AD synagogue in Sardis (modern Turkey), which was used as the reading platform in the synagogue. Some believe that the lion statues and the eagles carved on both sides of the altar (table) are evidence of syncretism to appease the Roman authorities.
