Antalya Museum 92 057.jpg

This is the sarcophagus you'll see on the next pictures (but then inside), it used to be outside, and with a decent tele lense the effect of the large bu8ildings behind was overpowering.

The sarcophagus is depicting hunting Roman soldiers in off-duty dress. The soldiers, all belted, have winged spears. Military javelins, round shield, double axes are represented on the sarcophagi’s side.
A military commander, maybe a tribune, on horseback and protected by a round clipeus, is driving his men to hunt of bulls, boars and panthers.
