Tomb of Hamrath

The Tomb of Hamrath was a late Hellenistic mausoleum that formerly stood in As-Suwayda, a city in the Hauran area, in modern-day Syria. From its inscription, it is known that the mausoleum was dedicated to a woman named Hamrath, and the style of lettering allows for its dating to the 1st century BC. The monument featured a design recalling classical Greek architecture with Hellenistic influence, including a stepped pyramid.[1]
