EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable marble sarcophagus that offers a glimpse into the Roman civilization of the 2nd century A. D. From Tyre, Lebanon, this exquisite piece features intricate carvings and decorations that tell an intriguing story. The lid depicts a deceased couple, their likenesses beautifully sculpted in marble. As we move along the sides of the sarcophagus, we are treated to reliefs depicting scenes from the life of Achilles. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring as each bas relief brings ancient Rome to life before our eyes. This single object holds within it a wealth of history and artistry that transports us back in time. Displayed in a museum setting, its horizontal position allows for an immersive viewing experience. The beginnings of human representation in art can be traced through this masterpiece's craftsmanship. With no people present in the photograph, we are left alone with our thoughts as we contemplate the significance and symbolism behind this magnificent creation. Lying on its side, this marble sarcophagus invites us to explore its every curve and crevice. It serves as both a testament to Roman civilization's rich cultural heritage and an enduring reminder of mortality itself.
