Symmachi–Nicomachi diptych

The Symmachi–Nicomachi diptych is a book-size Late Antique ivory diptych dating to the late fourth or early fifth century, whose panels depict scenes of ritual pagan religious practices. Both its style and its content reflect a short-lived revival of traditional Roman religion and Classicism at a time when the Roman world was turning towards Christianity and rejecting the Classical tradition.

The diptych takes its name from the inscriptions Nicomachorum and Symmachorum, in reference to two prominent Roman Senatorial families, the Nichomachi and Symmachi.
