Closer view of the right end of one of the long sides of the Antakya Sarcophagus. On the far right is the deceased husband, with a Muse-like female figure standing next to him. In the middle is a nude youth, perhaps the god Apollo. On the left is a philosopher-type male who is standing next to the deceased wife (not shown). See the previous photo for a view of the other end. Sidamara-type sarcophagus, third century AD, Antioch. Marble. Antakya Museum, inv. 18153. Photo © Dick Osseman.
