Christian sarcophagus with the departed, Jonah, and Eucharistic feast

Abstract

There was initially a thin line between honoring one's departed with a very expensive sarcophagus depicting Christian scenes including that of the Eucharist and honoring the martyr-hero (Christ the initial martyr-hero) and subsequent heroic martyrs. Christian sarcophagus with departed, Jonah, and Eucharistic feast in Museo delle Terme.
