Description
This relief shows Apollo, one of the most important Greek deities, the god of the arts, light and knowledge (amongst others). He is depicted in the Lykeios statue type with a kithara and a griffin, standing alongside Athena/Minerva and the nine Muses. The scenes on the lid show an academy-like ambience, and according to the inscription, Ulpia Eutychia dedicated the sarcophagus to her parents.
