Old late sarcophagos in eastern Bética: decoration and morphology

Abstract

Published works on late sarcophagi have evolved since the 20th century. Gradually, more studies focused on the iconography and aesthetics have been published, but they do not carry out an overview of the measures, ornamentation and material within the same geographical area. This study aims to gather the largest number of data (artistic, metric, iconographic) on the sarcophagilocated in eastern Bética in order to provide a new overview of these late- ancient pieces.
