Life, Death and Representation: Some New Work on Roman Sarcophagi (Millennium-Studien / Millennium Studies, 29)

The volume presents essays on different aspects of Roman sarcophagi. These varied approaches produce fresh insights into a subject which has received increased interest in English-language scholarship. Metropolitan sarcophagi are the main focus of the volume, which will cover a wide time range from the first century AD to post classical periods (including early Christian sarcophagi and post-classical reception).
