	The baker, his tomb, his wife, and her breadbasket: the monument of Eurysaces in Rome Art Bulletin, The - Find Articles
		However, scholars almost universally assume that Eurysaces was an ex-slave, or freedman; that is, he is thought to have been a slave and subsequently manumitted and thus held citizen status in Roman society.
		Typically, Eurysaces' presumed freedman identity has been used to speculate about some of his motivations in commissioning this tomb and to explain the tomb's perceived ostentatious display of the baker's financial success, as if freed slaves necessarily commissioned garish art.
		This article will contest the assumption that the unusual appearance of Eurysaces' tomb is necessarily bound to his presumed legal status as an ex-slave; it critically probes scholarly readings of the monument that essentialize the nature of its patronage.

		The first of these case studies is Atistia, wife of Marceius Vergilius Eurysaces, a freedman who became a prestigious baker and master contractor in Rome.
		He constructed a large, elaborate tomb for himself and Atistia, which also served as a monument to his trade: in fact, it is in the shape of a large oven, and its friezes depict the various stages of baking.
		Eurysaces closely connects Atistia with his profession-- he features her epitaph on his monument and even places her remains in a bread basket- shaped urn.

	Art Bulletin \| College Art Association
		The first-century Roman monument of Eurysaces, also known as the tomb of the baker, was long thought to be the commission of an ostentatious ex-slave, owing in part to its perceived similarity to the fictional tomb commission of Roman literature’s most vulgar freedman, Trimalchio.
		It shows how Eurysaces' monument frankly celebrates his baking enterprise and argues that the tomb’s unconventional use of architectural form and decoration was a strategy for Eurysaces to make himself memorable.

		However, the kin-claims of Ajax’ half-brother Teucer (son of Telamon and a concubine) and son Eurysaces (son of Ajax and a concubine) are problematic.
		In Athens after the 451BC Citizenship Law such individuals were not citizens and could not inherit, although this could be changed in the complete absence of legitimate heirs.
		Hence, Ajax details Eurysaces’ inheritance in a ‘living-will’ and Teucer attempts to clear himself of Telamon’s suspicion that he murdered Ajax (in order to inherit) by involving Eurysaces, and his mother Tecmessa, in the funeral rites.

		This architecture immediately reminded me of the ancient Roman Tomb of Eurysaces (circa 30 BC).
		Given Le Corbusier's admiration of grain silo architectures, can the Tomb of Eurysaces be seen as an unlikely precursor of the whole "box raised on pilotis" paradigm?
