Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Sarcophagus of Antimachos is in the North Necropolis. The lid form is of Lycian type. The reliefs are carved on the chest. There is a pseudo-door on the short face of the chest, symbolizing a door to the underworld Hades. On the corner plaster a tree of life is carved, suggesting eternity. A notice indicates use of such a tree is very ancient (the 3rd millennium BC is mentioned), but in English speaks of a "family tree", a wrong translation as "hayat" is life. This sarcophagus is dated between the middle and last quarter of the 2nd century AD.
