The sarcophagus was found by coincidence in 1991, near the Seyyid Burhanettin Türbesi (in the Archeological Museum’s neighbourhood), during digging operations in preparation of a new ‘Kültür Sitesi’ (Cultural Center).
It is from the so-called ‘Pamphylia’-type (= the Antalya region) and dated to the 2nd or early 3th century AD.
Dimensions: 215 x 101 cm, height: 133 cm.

On the picture: (from left to right) the 10th, 12th and 11th works: Herkules obtains the cattle of the monster Geryon – he captures and brings back the ‘hellhound’ Cerberus – he steals the apples of the Hesperides (nymphs who tended a blissful garden).
