Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The sarcophagus represents the deeds of Achilles, and the killing of Hector with the body of the vanquished bound to the winner's chariot. Note the warrior holding the Hektor's armour, a leather lorica (corium) plied for the transport. Achilles, on the rail chariot, is wearing a similar suite of armour. The armour is worn over a subarmalis (undegarment armour) fitted with hanging stripes (Pteryges). It is highly probable that the artist inspired himself, in the representation, to an actual Roman officer armour. A similar sarcophagus is represented, with variants, in the Beyrut National Museum.
