Hi, I don't know how to rightly include in the bot-generated mess (or in place of it) the right description.
If anybody knows how to do it, here it is:
"This antique drawing titled 'Caesar at the Grave of Alexander the Great' by H. Showmer represents the likely assumption that Julius Caesar visited the tomb of Alexander the Great in Alexandria, where his body (mummy) lay in public display (the Caesar's visit was described by the Roman historians Suetonius and Lucian). Alexander was originally laid to rest in a gold sarcophagus, which was later replaced with a glass one. We know this from Strabo, who visited Alexander's tomb himself in the first century A.D."
