Roman Sarcophagi.
789 a. (I. N. 2342). Boman sarcophagus, 3rd cent. A. D. M.
H. 0.50, L. 1.96, W. 0.63. Acquired 1909 from Rome.
Two hovering genii holding a shield, supported below by
two sphinxes. On the shield the inscription:
DM
M · CORNELIO
IVSTINO ■ QVI
VIXIT ■ ANNIS
XXV -M■CORNE
LIVS · IVLIVS
PATER
On each side on the ground are bow and a quiver and
at the corners a genius running with a lighted torch. On
each end a griffon. The lid is ridged; in the “tympanum” a
burning torch. On the high rim of the front cupids are hunt-
ing stags, wild boars and a wild ass. The work and inscript-
ion refer to the 3rd century A. D.
Tiling til Billedtavler pl. XIII.
789 b. (I. N. 2302). Roman sarcophagus, 3rd cent. A. D. M.
H. 0.56, L. 1.98. Poor work. Acquired 1908 from Rome. Came from
a Neapolitan collection.
In the centre the deceased, a middle aged woman with a
scroll in her hand in front of a parapetasma held by two
hovering cupids. The style of her hair makes it possible to
date the work to the first part of the 3rd century. Relow
the cupids a peacock. Out at the sides a standing cupid.
On each end a stag being attacked by a dog.

789 c. (I. N. 2349). Roman sarcophagus. Italic marble.
H. 0.61, L. 2.20, W. 0.80. Acquired 1909 in Rome.
A married couple in the centre: an elderly, short-bearded,
bald-headed man in tunica and toga and his somewhat
younger wife. Her coiffure and the type of his beard refer
the work to the first half of the 3rd century A. D. On each
side a hovering genius and below it a burning torch lying
