The Pincum relief is a funerary art fragment of an early 2nd century AD Roman marble relief depicting Achilles and Hector of the Trojan cycle of Homer's Iliad . It is unique in the way that it's the only stele depicting this myth found in Upper Moesia. ^{[1] [2]}

The relief was found in Veliko Gradište, Serbia (Roman Pincum , Upper Moesia) at the estate of Kosta Marković. ^[1]

It is made of white coarse-grained marble and depicts Achilles standing with the dead body of Hector, a myth which is seen on numerous Attica sarcophagi. Artistic analogies are a relief from Maria Saal (Virunum, Noricum) and two images from Dunaújváros (Intercisa, Pannonia). ^[1]
