115 Ludovisi Battle Sarcophagus
Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker provide a description, historical perspective, and analysis of Battle of the Romans and Barbarians. This sarcophagus, also known as the Great Ludovisi sarcophagus (or the Via Tiburtina Sarcophagus), is thought to be a memorial to the wars between the Ostrogoths and Imperial Romans then taking place. It was found in 1621 and named after Ludovico Ludovisi, its initial modern owner.
