Closer view of the left end of one of the long sides of the Antakya Sarcophagus. This is the deceased wife, with a philosopher-type male standing next to her. In the middle is a nude youth, perhaps the god Apollo. On the right is a Muse-like figure, who stands next to the deceased husband (not shown, except his foot). Sidamara-type sarcophagus, third century AD, Antioch. Marble. Antakya Museum, inv. 18153. Photo © Dick Osseman. Information from Antioch: The Lost Ancient City
