Abstract:
In the part still extant of the paintings of the Dura-Europos synagogue, three panels, all three on the theme of salvation, contain the most important female characters of the painted cycle. Two of these panels, which respectively represent the childhood of Moses and the institution of the feast of purîm, share some characteristics that invite us to observe them simultaneously. This is what the author of this article focuses on, while taking into consideration the location of these two panels on the west wall of the synagogue.
