An Iranian cargo ship has come under attack in the Red Sea, Al Arabiya TV reported on Tuesday, quoting unnamed... The coffins are adorned with symbolic discs, which the Romans thought protected and accompanied the soul on its journey to the afterlife, and flower garlands, also often used to decorate sarcophagi in the Hellenistic period as well. Between the garlands are oval blanks, which the IAA believes were originally intended to be filled with the customary grape-cluster motif, but for some unknown reason remained unfinished. The IAA noted that the sarcophagi are made of local stone, most likely from the Judean Hills or Samaria, in imitation of the Proconnesian marble used for the sarcophagi of prestigious individuals, which comes from the Turkish island of Marmara.
