The Great Ludovisi Sarcophagus is a colossal sarcophagus dating probably from the late 2nd, early 3rd century. Battle scenes on the front facade are on three levels: victorious Romans at the top, the fighting at the center, and the defeated, mostly slain barbarians at the bottom. The face of the deceased (general on horseback, center) might have been reworked.
Visit the Palazzo Altemps in central Rome to see a small but fantastic collection of top sculptures from antiquity displayed in a historic palace of the National Roman Museum.
