Kilikia'da Bir Amazonomakhia Lahdi
Abstract
A Sarcophagus with Amazonomachy in CiliciaThe article presents a fragment, acquired by the museum of Adana, of a sarcophagus from Cilicia, depicting a scene from an Amazonomachy with a Greek grabbing an Amazon by the hair with his raised hand. Iconographical comparisons allow dating the piece to the late Antonine-Severan period. The owner of the lavishly decorated sarcophagus must have been a member of the elite.
