Abstract :The Eros Trapezophoros (Table Support) belonging to the Roman Imperial Period, which is located in the Afyonkarahisar Museum, was brought to the museum by purchasing, and no comprehensive study has been done on it.** The fact that such an important material or subject has not been evaluated leaves the evaluation of the economic and social structure in the region incomplete. Trapezophoros dated to the Roman Imperial Period is one of the important furniture examples showing the aesthetics and luxury of the Roman Imperial Period life in Afyonkarahisar. In this direction, the work in the museum was discussed and tried to be introduced. Eros’ right arm is missing from the shoulder; the right foot is missing below the knee. A stylistic, typological and iconographic evaluation of the work has been made and it is considered appropriate to date it to the Late Antonine - Early Severan Period. When Eros Trapezophoros is evaluated with other comparative examples, it is understood that this work belongs to the Dokimeon workshop.
