Sarcophagus carrying a cline scene upon the lid. As recorded in the inscription on the lid, Aurelia Botiane Demetria is reclining with her husband. The husband's head isn't carved in detail, but just blocked in. The figures carved between the columns on the body of the sarcophagus represent philosophy, wisdom etc. On the back of the sarcophagus are several carved scenes from the Trojan War cycle.
