Characterised by panels of carved fluting, resembling the curved strigil used by Roman bathers to scrape off oil, and limited figure scenes, they were produced from the mid-second to the early fifth century AD, and thus cover a critical period in Rome, from empire to early Christianity. This study focuses on their rich potential as a historical source for exploring the social and cultural life of the city in the later empire.Sarcophagi, RomanAppreciationRomeSarcophagi, RomanRomeFluting (Architecture and decoration)Art and societySarcophagi, RomanAppreciationSarcophagi, RomanFluting (Architecture and decoration)Art and society733.509376Huskinson Janet488318PQKBBOOK9910157834503321Roman strigillated sarcophagi2894888UNINA
