Hi,
I was just doing some online searching and see that Yale has posted a load of pictures from its collection of artifacts from Dura-Europos up in the Yale Art Gallery's collection database: [url:32intg5u]http://artgallery.yale.edu/pages/search.html[/url].
To get at the Dura pictures, in the line DEPARTMENT: pull it down and click Ancient Art and in CULTURE: type dura. This will deliver a gigantic number of photos. If you want to limit the search, keep those previous entries and then type a search term such as armor or lamp or whatever in TITLE:
The photos include pictures of ceramics, textiles, armor bits (an iron scale), scuta and the fresco of Julius Terentius performing a sacrifice to name but a small quantity.
Enjoy,
Lucianus
